The way I discovered this album was through my notorious love of songs named after places mixed with my love of Maine.

One of the last songs on the album by Donovan Woods is called Portland, Maine and it is so good. So, I thought why not give the rest of the album a listen too and it did not disappoint.

There is something about the consistency of the songs that is rather comforting. Something you can cry to, sing to, dance to, study to and more.
