'Returned to this for the first time in months and Brother's Keeper hit me in a way that it didn't on any other listen.'



Yeah Brother's Keeper was always one of my favorites from this one. It's the most straight up folksy I think and works so well because it's the only song of its like on the record.



Glad to see you enjoy it Dewi. Rec wasn't wasted then ;)

Leave a Light still brings a tear to my eyes. It's easy to overlook as its a quiet song ending a quiet second half, but its so gorgeous and vulnerable.

you're right, it's probably one of the weaker ones but in context it's just so so moving

Bill Callahan managed to sweep up my folk album of the year. This album fell off of me slightly but that only grew richer with time.

I haven't listened to this in a hot minute but I still consider "Don't Settle" my SOTY, with "Leave a Light" also landing a top 10 spot (maybe even top 5?)

Glen is simply a masterful songwriter. Pretty much everything he's done is incredible. Can't wait to check this one out.

10 4.5+ for the year eh? Impressive, I only have three 4.5s.

This has a solid chance at my top 50.

Damn, either I’ve missed all the good stuff this year or I’ve gotten extra stingy.
