Predictable but effective four-chord guitar motifs are the chosen vehicle for the ex-Royal Armed Forces soldier, and when they connect ('Wiseman,' 'Goodbye My Lover,' 'You Are Beautiful'), it's like a 'Dear John' letter from a lover who you know will remain a close but ultimately guarded friend. Opening track 'High' sets a determined midtempo pace that rarely wanes - it's like an acoustic version of 'Drive' by with a chorus.
