Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released posthumously just months after the artist's tragic death in a plane crash, this poignant collection serves as a deeply emotional conclusion to his brief, brilliant career. The sentimental title track and the enduringly beautiful 'I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song' perfectly encapsulate his gift for relatable, conversational storytelling.
