Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving amidst profound personal tragedy and the chaotic unravelling of his CSNY bandmates, Graham Nash's sophomore solo effort is remarkably somber and introspective. The acoustic, folk-rock arrangements highlight deeply melancholic lyrics concerning heartbreak and emotional exhaustion, providing a stark contrast to his earlier, sunnier pop compositions.
