Album Notes & Community Reviews

Differentiating himself from the darker themes of his contemporaries, the artist delivers gentle, intricately picked acoustic renditions of traditional religious material. The warm, conversational vocals and intricate Piedmont fingerstyle technique create a remarkably peaceful, pastoral approach to the blues and spirituals.
