Album Notes & Community Reviews

This colorful collection serves as a vibrant cross-section of the Scottish troubadour's stylistic range, featuring gentle acoustic ballads juxtaposed against heavier rock arrangements. Most notably, the title track features muscular instrumental backing from the Jeff Beck Group, creating a unique fusion of gentle folk-pop whimsy and driving British blues-rock.
