October 17, 2020His canadian pal wrote the songs on the other side which are folky singer songwriter tracks of the highest order, informed by homesickness for Canada and a difficult break up with a girlfriend, the opening song is a lost classic with a gorgeous mandolin (or is it banjo ?) melody. those songs are a bit reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot and Leonard Cohen, deeply melancholic.
