My 2019 solo album. Not quite solo - there are ten songs and each uses one or two collaborators. Over the length of the album, my guitar and voice are complemented by cello, blues harp, piano, pedal steel and oboe.

Ten musicians playing ten direct and emotional songs about the big wakeup calls in life (and a few about death!).

These simple and unsentimental songs will appeal to people who've been around the block.
