Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released on his own private imprint, this cassette represents one of the final studio recordings from the visionary acoustic guitarist and vocalist. 'Bouquet' relies heavily on the 12-string guitar to weave pastoral, deeply romantic narratives inspired by Eastern spiritualism and American primitive folk traditions. The album stands as a beautiful, bittersweet closing statement to his uniquely idiosyncratic career.
