Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from the polished soft rock that defined his commercial peak, the American singer-songwriter embraced acoustic instrumentation for 'High Country Snows'. The sessions gathered an elite ensemble of Nashville session musicians and bluegrass virtuosos, including Doc Watson and Ricky Skaggs, resulting in a deeply authentic tribute to Appalachian musical traditions.
