Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during a tumultuous transitional period for his primary band, Strawbs, the British frontman's solo debut is a lush, exquisitely arranged exploration of progressive folk. Bolstered by an extraordinary session lineup that included Deep Purple's Roger Glover and keyboardist Rick Wakeman, the deeply pastoral compositions highlight his resonant vocals and masterful acoustic guitar work.
