Album Notes & Community Reviews

While renowned for his dazzling instrumental fingerstyle technique, the acclaimed acoustic guitarist鈥檚 fourth studio release is particularly notable for featuring his idiosyncratic, deep baritone vocals on several tracks. The intricate, syncopated playing style continues to push the boundaries of American Primitivism, seamlessly weaving elements of rural blues and expansive, pastoral folk into mesmerizing acoustic tapestries.
