Beautiful late night, early morning, whenever. Calms, soothes and ultimately enriches the soul. If you haven't heard it yet, also try the album Steve did with Maiya Hershey. Equally gorgeous and good for the soul in these strange days... Kemi Helwa

I have to restrain myself from being too effusive about 'Anyway, Still'. This is truly unique music of beautiful, beguiling power which resonates long after each listen. A true gift. I'll be eagerly awaiting all subsequent releases. Thank you Exit North. musicconnection
