John Henry (album)

John Henry is the name of They Might Be Giants' fifth original album, although it is the sixth disc in their discography. It was released in 1994 (see 1994 in music). It is the first album in which they utilized a full band, as opposed to playing most or all of the instruments themselves. Many of their fans were disappointed in the change; others embraced the new sound.
