Bob Davoli’s newest record - his fifth album in four years - presents a continuation of themes that most listeners will remember from his previous recordings, continuing observations of longing and wistfulness.

At the center of this record, and of all of Bob’s songs, is Bob himself: his life, his feelings, his memories, hopes, regrets, all filtered through a plaintive, passionate, and nakedly honest voice, which in turn is driven forward by sophisticated guitar voicings.

While all of Bob’s songs are deeply personal, they also have a universal quality, what’s usually referred to as the human condition. And isn’t this it? To still feel something that’s nowhere near? To be nowhere near? And also to be aware that nowhere is near, and getting nearer all the time.

Bob is accompanied on this album by Marty Ballou (string bass), Kevin Barry (guitar and dobro), Gabriela Martina (vocals), Kathleen Parks (fiddle and vocals), Guy Van Duser (guitar), and Jesse Williams (string bass).
