History:

John E. McCulloch was a singer-songwriter from Montana. McCulloch was afflicted with blindness from a young age after developing hydrocephalus. His parents moved him to Bozeman, Montana to see a specialist and receive medical assistance that ultimately saved his life. McCulloch began to learn guitar and started writing gospel songs while in high school.

McCulloch set out to record a full length album in 1979. The album titled "He Put A New Song In My Mouth" contained mostly original songs. The music itself is acoustic folk rock with Ed Halvorson contributing some tasteful lead guitar and bass guitar. Elvorson’s prominent use of a volume pedal gives some of the songs a psychedelic tinge. McCulloch played acoustic rhythm guitar and sang both lead and backing vocals. Sharon Saw played piano on the track "So Many Things". 

McCulloch went to university in his 20's where he graduated with a degree. However, tragedy struck when McCulloch was hit by a truck. The accident left him paralyzed and in a care home to this day. His father wrote a book about the tragedy that is available on Amazon.
