Thanks for the recommendation, Thaus. I downloaded this album and have been listening to it off-and-on over the past 2 days. While I can't claim to have given it 100% of my attention, I will say, from my perspective, it's a really good introduction to his music. He really is/was (don't want to reopen this debate) a good guitar player.

I still don't care that much for his voice, but meh. Lately I've been focused more on songwriting than vocals/performance. And this album makes it very clear that the guy is one helluva songwriter. I anticipate listening to this album a lot over the next few weeks and months.

Thanks again! Nothing like "discovering" a guy who has 30+ years of records strung behind him ...
