Album Notes & Community Reviews

Guided by producer Rick Rubin, the 1960s folk-pop icon returns from a prolonged recording hiatus with an intimately stripped-down collection. The album features delicate acoustic fingerpicking and deeply spiritual lyricism, allowing his gently weathered voice to command the serene atmosphere.
