JOHN GULIAK
The Black Monk (Mint)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

---

Though he has the laconic, comfortable delivery of a Gordon Lightfoot, John Guliak sneaks in a bit of the new under the radar. Covering an Uncle Tupelo track and dipping into the Giant Sand repertoire, Guliak's external material choices blend in seamlessly with his folky rambling. This is rootsy storytelling in the old fashion sense, with a clear vocal, some pretty harmonies and fine picking to keep things moving.
