Album Notes & Community Reviews
A profound meditation on everyday grace, mortality, and survival, 'Blessed' finds the veteran songwriter delivering emotionally weathered, gritty Americana. Driven by a mix of tender acoustic ballads and snarling, blues-inflected rockers, the album features evocative guitar contributions from Elvis Costello.
