The quiet brilliance of a forgotten singer-songwriter
Digby Richards' only solo work, a fine piece of 70s folk rock.
The album features simple arrangements centered around acoustic guitar, introspective lyrics, and warm vocals. Although it was not a commercial success, the quality of the songs is high, and it captures the sincere attitude of British folk at the time. It is secretly valued among collectors as a hidden gem that deserves to be rediscovered.
