Check Our Catalog“On Nobody Left to Crown, his 30th album of new material, Havens interprets the Who, Peter, Paul & Mary,and Jackson Browne, but the majority of the tunes are his own, and they stand proudly alongside the covers. The music here is quiet, acoustic, and downbeat, with Havens sounding cautiously optimistic as he faces life and death. The album’s not an upper, but even the darkest songs are suffused with Havens’ gentle soulfulness.”—All Music Guide
