Review by L. Danielle Baldwin

Apple Wine, the latest album from John Hanlon, is a refreshing and soulful addition to the world of indie folk music. With a mix of acoustic guitar, mandolin, and harmonica, Hanlon creates a sound that is both nostalgic and modern.

The album opens with the title track, "Apple Wine," a song that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its simple yet powerful lyrics and catchy melody. The album continues with songs such as "The Road Ahead," "Lonely Nights," and "Wildfire," each one showcasing Hanlon's ability to weave together storytelling and music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The River," a hauntingly beautiful song that tells the story of a man struggling to find his place in the world. Hanlon's voice is raw and emotive, giving the song a sense of authenticity and vulnerability.
