The Apocalypse is Over is the eight studio album by folk-singer John Craigie.[1] It was released in August 2013 on Zabriskie Point Records. The album was inspired by Craigie's regular trips to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he was captivated by the music and spirit he found there.[2] Blending jazz, folk, blues and country, the songs transport listeners from life in the French Quarter (“Preservation Hall”) to Van Gogh’s descent into madness in the south of France (“Rachel”) and to the lonely life of a musician on the road (“We Ain’t Leavin’ this Bar Patrick (Till We Find You Some Love)”). [3]

As with Montana Tale and October is the Kindest Month, Randy Schwartz appears on drums and Cian Riordan is chief engineer. Steve Adams also returns on bass and as co-producer with Craigie and Schwartz.[4]
