Album Notes & Community Reviews
Settling comfortably into a slick, adult contemporary aesthetic, the veteran singer-songwriter delivered a collection of exceptionally mellow and melodic folk-pop. The pristine studio production highlights his signature fingerpicked acoustic guitar and warm, reassuring vocal delivery. While moving away from his raw, confessional early work, it achieved significant commercial success and reaffirmed his status as a soft-rock titan.
