Rupert Wates writes: "This CD is a return to my roots – hence the title. It features just my voice and my guitar, recorded live in the studio, with no overdubs, and mostly in one take. It’s intended partly as a form of homage to the artists I grew up listening to – among them Leo Kottke, John Martyn, Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake – who have made me the musician I am today. I hope it’s a worthy continuation of the fire they first set ablaze in me." Standout songs: (1) I’m Amazed; (3) Full Circle; (4) Ballad Of A Brown Eyed Girl; (7) Driverless Train; (11) Last Of The Hotbloods
