    Great songs great voice and a very natural beauty about this album, an underrated record and artist who doesn't seem to get the air play he deserves. A few of these songs really delve into the type of songwriting which is extremely rare a brutal bitter sweet journey such as 'the man that time forgot' and 'back into the woods'.

    It’s a strong start to the record, which becomes even stronger when Wandering Eye is taken into consideration.
