Album Notes & Community Reviews
The former Monkee pushes the boundaries of country-rock with this highly ambitious, multimedia concept album. Originally released with an accompanying novella meant to be read while listening, the record creates a deeply atmospheric, cosmic country soundscape that explores profound existential and spiritual themes.
