 The John Henrys aren’t your conventional Americana / alt-country act. That is, of course, because they are Canadian. But that detail doesn’t discredit the band—remember: Neil Young and Hank Snow are two of the most notable names in country music, and both hail from Canada. On Sweet As Grain, The John Henrys dispel any notion that Canadian roots do anything to damage the integrity of country music. The album became #1 on iTunes Canada Roots Music the week of release, and #1 on the Exclaim/Earshot National Campus and Community Radio Folk Roots chart. Now, the album’s US release is expected to generate similar results and deliver the much-talked-about band to the forefront of the Americana / Country / Roots scene in the US.
