Album Notes & Community Reviews

The New York singer-songwriter refines his articulate, street-level narratives on his third studio album. Backed by a stellar group of musicians and enhanced by pristine production, the record is a literate, highly melodic mix of folk-rock and urban poetry that drew immediate comparisons to the mid-70s work of Bruce Springsteen.
