  • Way back in the early 1980's John had this great idea to produce a tape for joggers. Working with Larry Cansler and a running physiologist, he put together an awesome workout tape. It contains warm-up, stretching, jog and cool down suites. The guitarwork is fabulous and it really is a great listen, regardless of your workout leanings. Our test runners at the time ALL reported improved performance with less fatigue. We never asked if that had anything to do with running. John pitched it to Nike, Coca-Cola, and New Balance as a marketing give-away. There was some initial interest but it never panned out. John toyed with the idea of releasing The Runner as a new age instrumental album on Homecoming, but moved on to other projects. Until now . . .

    Neon Dreams is very happy to release this lost gem for John Stewart fans. It is a very different CD for John to release but is a terrific listen especially if you do any form of workout.

    "The Runner" will be available at all of John's upcoming shows. You may also purchase this CD online using the PayPal link on this page. The cost of the CD is $20 with free shipping in US only. International orders will be available soon. Watch this space for details.
