Hope, Defiance Part 2: Fiction

 The album closes with ‘Hope’, which given this is (probably) Taylor Hawkins’ last recorded work, is suitably thoughtful Joining Hunter are Lucinda Williams and Billy Bob Thornton. It’s a lovely song, full of yearning and passion, and is absolutely the perfect way to end such a sublime album.
