from New Jersey
acoustic album, his first since Ghost Of Tom Joad
lots of lush strings
folky
the guy is still a master storyteller even though some of the melodies
leave a lot to be desired IMO
he seems to have a couple of pure gems on each album nowadays
but to offset that he does have a several duds as well, I guess at this stage of a 
career it gets harder to write material that stands up to an artists back catalogue
and that's not just Bruce, that's all artists
a reasonably good album for an artist this far into his career
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
