Dan Arborise returns with this tour de force of acoustic guitar, beautiful soundscapes and warmly affecting vocals. Compared with John Martyn and Nick Drake, Dan creates his own distinctive modern folk music. A fresher and more upfront record than his 2006 debut, ‘Around In Circles,’ Dan has captured the fire and beauty of his live performance on ‘Of Tide and Trail’ perfectly, sounding in turns both delicate and visceral.
