John's Solo Project

Before J&H came out there was talk about a third solo project from John Schlitt. What happened to that???

I have my doubts this project is going to see the light of day soon, unfortunately. Here's what John had to say in my interview with him earlier this year:

JOSH: Let's talk about you personally for a second. You've done a lot of work on a solo album that's been on hold for a while�

JOHN: For a LONG while!

Has there been any progress on getting it closer to releasing?

My partner, the one who is left of the three, every once in a while calls me and says "John, we've got this. We're almost ready." It's really out of my hands.

I can't concentrate on it much because Petra takes up so much of my time and it's such a focus. Right now, I don't think Petra can afford a solo album from me, because every time I do a solo record, everyone assumes I quit the band. I don't know why it's so tough for people to fathom the idea of having two separate ministries, but it caused complications the last two records I did.

I would love to have my third solo record come out. I wish it had come out two years ago. It's just sort of sitting there. I think one of the songs from that record was put on a different record recently, a compilation of different singers. I don't know what it's called, but they took one of my songs that was gonna be on my solo record and put it on this other record. I don't know the name, but I'm sure if you investigated, you could probably find it.

Indeed, I know what it is!

Oh, okay, I thought so!

It's called "Welcome to the Revolution" and it's the Liberty n' Justice album.

Oh, well what song of mine is on there?

"It's About Love," I'm pretty sure.

Oh, okay, cool!

Yeah, unfortunately it's just sitting there.... all but about 3 songs are done. I spoke with one of the songwriters the other day... he still has hopes that this project will be released eventually.

That's a good question for John.... or Gary (the producer).

Well, it would be nice to have another JS album.....the first two were freakin awsome!........yeah, I hate how albums get pushed back all the time.....so freakin annoying
