What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although there isn't any profane or outwardly offensive language on this soulful and passionate album, many of the songs have sexual undertones with references to sexual desires and exploits that older kids may pick up on. The final track tells the story of a desirable young girl who's quite promiscuous. There are also references to drinking spirits, going to bars, and being drunk.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Fairly mild references: "Girl you just turn me on," "Let's get down and freaky baby," "Let's get down and dirty." In the song "Alloway Grove," a girl asks to be used.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Speaks of "drinking stronger spirits" and "going from bar to bar." There's also a reference to a drunken night at age 16 (legal drinking age in the U.K.) that ended up between the sheets. "Wandering around with a half-pack of cigarettes" appears in one song.
