You did fine.Just calling it gorgeous is right on.I own "Ordinary Time" and
it is a fine little album.But this is a huge step up.He went from dreamy
bedroom pop to a much more mature sound.I am only basing this on the tracks
i just heard at the 2 links you left.Gosh, that is beautiful stuff.More of a
studio effort ,and it all seems to work.An immediate purchase for this poor
guy.Paul Mc. will have to wait.
