Album Notes & Community Reviews

Breaking an eight-year recording silence, the legendary singer-songwriter returned to his hometown roots to record this exceptionally laid-back album. It perfectly preserves his signature shuffling, bluesy 'Tulsa Sound' while occasionally updating the instrumentation with subtle, rhythmic synthesizer textures.
