Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving beyond the sprawling, humorous narratives of his earliest work, the songwriter embraces a more concise, heavily produced country-rock aesthetic. Assisted by prominent session players like Ry Cooder and Clarence White, the record features a sophisticated, electric backing that perfectly complements his laid-back acoustic picking.
