"John Bustine, a New-Englander born and no preacher's son; a misspent youth consisting mainly of looking for a way out; John turned to the comforts of Washington D.C. and began writing songs. Drawing on traditional folk and country for his musical backdrop, he pulled from his life experiences, turning them into fairytales written for malevolent youth. John Bustine: a traveler, a sage, a poet, possibly a sailor, charts a course revealing the beauty hidden within the concealed dark side of the American Spirit." -Digipak.

"Pensacola" is just one of many haunting songs on John Bustine's debut album Waltzes & Pleas. Drawing from Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash, the singer paints vivid images that burst with darkness and desperation." - NPR
