Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dedicated to the memory of a close friend, the singer-songwriter's breakthrough album bathes traditional American roots music in a distinctively warm, lo-fi aesthetic. The virtuosic, John Fahey-inspired acoustic fingerpicking acts as the anchor for smoky vocals and subtle studio experimentation.
