Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in a remarkably short ten-day session, the nineteenth solo studio album by the former Fairport Convention guitarist is stripped back and fiercely direct. Opting to produce the record himself, Thompson relies on tight, live-in-the-studio performances to highlight his complex, blues-inflected fingerstyle playing and grimly poetic lyricism.
