Tobacco & Rose is the songwriting project of Canadian underground legend Richard Moody. The songs are inspired by, and in praise of, the natural world, embodied spirituality, and plant medicines such as ayahuasca. Stylistically reminiscent of the sophisticated singer-songwriter greats of the 1960s-70s.
