Gorgeous new LP by the veteran 80-year-old American folk singer-songwriter, cartoonist and painter, whose first album was released in 1964, and this latest still employs his trusty, hissy four-track recorder, as well as duets with guest singers, including Josephine Foster. Inspired by the month of July, when the foxgloves bloom in Astoria, Oregon, this is full of gentle, throaty, intimate, and tender numbers with the acoustic guitar various joined by upright bass, pump organ, baritone ukulele, and bass clarinet, and filled with lovely stories, joy and melancholy and standout tracks include Are You Here For The Festival, Alabama, Knocko The Monk and Jacob’s Ladder. Out on No Quarter Records.
