Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded entirely solo by the eccentric multi-instrumentalist between his tenures with ELO and Wizzard, this quirky effort is a stunning display of overdubbed studio wizardry. Utilizing an arsenal of unconventional instruments including cellos, banjos, and a waterphone, the songwriter crafted a wildly eclectic, highly affectionate pastiche of classic pop and folk styles.
