Honestly tried to listen to this so many times before this review mainly because it was so hard to concentrate while listening to this on the train or bus. It’s very intimate and I feel like it needs a quiet area to really appreciate it. This album is all about the lyrics and they are sometimes hard to understand because he is almost always talking in metaphors. But I think this creates a great sense of imagery that makes certain lines have great emotion, depth and become very memorable after multiple listens. I want to watch videos of this album live because I think that’s where folk music actually shines.
