Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran Northern Irish songwriter offers an incredibly warm, deeply nostalgic collection that flawlessly marries his signature singer-songwriter approach with classic rhythm and blues instrumentation. Driven by mellow Hammond organ and exceptionally smooth blue-eyed soul horn sections, the project reflects a calm, unbothered retrospective on his storied career. It stands as a timeless, elegantly executed twilight masterclass.
