Album Notes & Community Reviews

Distancing himself from the sprawling historical narratives that would later define his career, the Scottish-born songwriter offered a collection of intensely personal, acoustic-driven reflections. Featuring delicate fingerpicking and highly introspective lyricism, the album sits squarely in the intimate singer-songwriter tradition of the London folk club scene. It is highly regarded as a pristine, unadorned showcase of his early poetic development.
