Album Notes & Community Reviews

Critically acclaimed as a creative rebirth, this sophomore solo record merges pastoral acoustic instrumentation with distinctly British soul influences. The organic, earthy production provided a sharp contrast to the era's burgeoning Britpop movement, firmly re-establishing the former Jam frontman as a vital, mature voice in contemporary rock.
