A Short History Of Decay is an intensely personal document of an artist’s fall from grace. It contains all the tragic elements of that unwritten Southern Gothic novel: the revelations of a man coming to terms with the personal shortcomings, the flaws and the perverse twists of fate that led him to the end of one journey and the beginning of another.

Outstanding songwriting matching darkly poetic lyricism with arrangements that have a sparse, pretty fragility. Includes his version of Afghan Whigs' 'What Jail Is Like'.
