Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing his departure from the traditional electric folk of Fairport Convention, the British singer-songwriter embraced a distinctly transatlantic, Americana-infused aesthetic. Aided by pristine production and impeccable acoustic arrangements, the album seamlessly bridges the gap between English pastoral folk and the burgeoning Southern California soft-rock sound.
