agreed. But I love when it happens.
I seem to be mentioning him more than a certain Frisbie fan used to drop
their name, but I'd stack up Ian Hunter's last two albums against the rest
of his catalogue. And did no one mention Neil Young? I guess I'd be hard
pressed to put any of his latter work up against his first three albums, but
he's still vibrant and creative.
And much father under the radar - his last several albums weren't released
in the USA - Mitch Ryder still kicks my ass. THE ACQUITTED IDIOT was my
favorite album of 2006.
