Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to exclusively original material after a series of country and cover albums, the legendary Northern Irish songwriter embraces a remarkably laid-back, roots-oriented approach. The arrangements seamlessly blend blues, folk, and blue-eyed soul, perfectly suiting his increasingly relaxed vocal phrasing.
