This is an umpteenth album by the grizzled veteran of roots songwriting and, if it isn't his strongest, that doesn't mean it isn't worthy of your attention – and not only for the moving address to his late wife in the title song. Arrangements are simple, bluegrass-inflected and rich in acoustic textures. Warm and thick as a hayrick.
