Album Notes & Community Reviews

Establishing his deeply uncompromising, highly idiosyncratic style, the English songwriter's fourth album perfectly balances biting societal critique with remarkably tender acoustic melodies. The inclusion of 'Hell's Angels'鈥攆eaturing members of The Nice as his backing band鈥攄emonstrates his unique ability to seamlessly integrate heavy progressive rock with intimate folk traditions.
