Album Notes & Community Reviews

Divided conceptually into three distinct suites reflecting different aspects of working-class London life, the veteran guitarist's outing balances blistering electric solos with delicate acoustic balladry. The sharp, observant lyricism and breathtaking fretwork demonstrate an artist firmly at the peak of his seasoned storytelling abilities.
