Album Notes & Community Reviews

The esteemed Italian troubadour delivers a highly poetic, narrative-driven collection that further cements his status in the canzone d'autore movement. Relying on gentle, acoustic-based arrangements, the record explores themes of American mythology and modern alienation through a deeply introspective, peaceful lens.
