Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut from the Scottish troubadour showcases a remarkably mature approach to traditional folk songcraft at a very young age. Featuring brisk, agile acoustic fingerpicking and a pristine vocal tone, it offers a purely acoustic prelude to the heavy experimentation that would define his later career.
