Working On My Farewell is the fourth studio album by the folk-singer John Craigie.[1] It was released in January 2015 on Zabriskie Point Records. Recorded in small studios in Santa Cruz, California, and Portland, Oregon, this album is famous for being Craigie's "electric album", with each song being played on electric guitar – a departure from his primarily acoustic style.[2][3] Although promoted as electric, it is actually one of Craigie's quietest and most melancholic albums, being compared to Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska and Beck's Sea Change'.[4] The title "Working On My Farewell"is taken from the lyrics of the song "Rexroth's Daughter" by Greg Brown[5]

As with the three previous studio albums, Randy Schwartz appears on drums and Cian Riordan is chief engineer.[6]
