From the plangent, spacious Americana of the string laden opener 'Queen of the Highlands' to his heartfelt love letter to home 'This Old Place', 'Hold Fast' tells the tale of a man returning to the island where he was born after trying to make it in the world. Contrasting parts - Springsteen-style widescreen rock on 'The Long Road' and 'Sleep', introspective acoustic folk on 'Made of Stone' and '33' (one of two tracks on the album featuring Sheryl Crow) - contribute to a poignant whole.
