Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from his signature twangy rock and roll instrumentals, the pioneering guitarist explores traditional American folk material with a subdued, largely acoustic approach. The gentle arrangements emphasize melodic clarity over driving rhythm, catering to the era's booming adult contemporary and easy-listening markets.
