Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Kindness of the World' captures Joe Henry fully embracing a pastoral, roots-oriented sound that heavily predates the mainstream alt-country boom. Supported by members of the Jayhawks, the songwriter weaves evocative, literary narratives over warm, acoustic-driven instrumentation.
