It was during a particularly troublesome period in his life, that he decided the only option was to seek change. Big change. Leaving all of his emotional baggage behind, he embarked upon a musical pilgrimage around America that eventually would come to define not just his sound, but also his own identity. He eventually returned to London with a collection of songs he’d written along the road, which placed him firmly at the forefront of the so-called ‘new Blues’ movement.
