Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by his friend Graham Nash, this stunning, introspective record captures the famously underrated British vocalist leaning into a pastoral, distinctly American folk-rock sound. The sweeping acoustic arrangements perfectly complement his raspy, deeply passionate vocal performances, resulting in an incredibly longing, wintry atmosphere. The album has gained a massive cult resurgence in recent years, celebrated as a long-lost masterpiece of the 1970s singer-songwriter era.
