Customer Reviews




pam evansBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful from start to finish. I have always loved his music, but this album is a much more sophisticated, mature, deep and profound collection than anything he has ever done--and much more so than his contemporaries. Haven't heard an album this complete in a long time--maybe since some of Stevie Wonder's early works.
