The 13th and final album from this artist from Great Britain.
Fish did the vocals himself here.
He got help from some guests who added drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, strings, brass, saxophones, programming and backing vocals.
Fish retreated to an island in his homeland Scotland (where he runs a pub and a B & B I plan to visit next year) earlier this year after the release of this album and a re-scheduled farewell tour after the pandemic had scuppered the original tour.
This album is a double CD, clocking in at eighty-five minutes.
The music is a return to some of his roots. The sixteen minutes long Rose Of Damascus reminds me a lot about his work on his final Marillion album Clutching At Straws. A great song btw and the best piece of music he has recorded as a solo artist.
The rest of the music is leaning more towards folk rock than any of his previous albums.
The result is his best album. He is ending his career on a high, indeed. This is a borderline great album but it has a couple of substandard tracks too. Nevertheless....
3.5 points
