Album Notes & Community Reviews

The celebrated 60s folk-pop troubadour offers a deeply reflective, largely melancholic set of soft rock. Reacting to the rapidly accelerating pace of modern society, the album features somber, orchestrated balladry and introspective lyricism that mourns the loss of a simpler era.
