I love the imagery in this spooky John Hartford song. Chris came up with a really cool way of playing it and we recorded into the evening on the last day. I was so excited when Chris agreed to play on this album, he’s a huge musical hero to me and it was really cool to get a little peek into his creative process while arranging and recording. Playing in a trio setting also allowed me to really enjoy the creativity and sophistication of Jeff’s bass playing and I feel extremely lucky to have him playing on the whole album.

I don't listen to much country music, so I don't really know where this one lands, but I find it has some pretty good tunes and definitively good musicianship. Some of the songs mights soound a bit cheesy, but I enjoy this album overall nonetheless. The tunes which are more sounding like ballads get my preference, such as Northern Babe, and North Country Blues. Thibaut Devigne

I didn't think i could love an album more than i loved Home, along comes Renewal and i'm absolutely blown away. This album is a fantastic journey from start to finish. I'll finally be able to see Billy live in a couple of months and i'm sure it will be the show of a lifetime. SEGADEATH
