Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released posthumously following the gentle bluesman's passing, this collection captures the serene, intricate fingerpicking style that made him a beloved figure of the 1960s folk revival. The pristine, intimate recordings highlight his remarkably warm vocal delivery and masterful, syncopated acoustic guitar technique.
