53 years old may seem old to make your debut album but when it is as good as this tremendous recording it is well worth that long wait! The album has been given the hugely oversimplified label of ‘blues rock,’ a description that to my ears should be ignored! It is certainly a ‘roots’ album but is as uncategorisable as the late 1980s solo debut by Robbie Robertson. What that means is peerless songwriting, great arrangements and playing, a variety of tempos all driven by David’s hugely atmospheric, raw but melodic vocals. Anyone who has a liking for roots music needs a copy of this great album in their collection. Methinks another contender for album of the year, perhaps even an early favourite!
