His fiftieth album, Honest People, was released in 2014 at the same time as his autobiography, and in 2018 he released his fifty-first, Butcherbird. Three songs from his popular JW's Family Album have been made into delightful, entertaining picture books for children, along with a beautiful new song and book written as an anthem to the sea.
