A few years ago, Michael Roux burned me some of his favorite tracks, spanning a good portion of his career. This was around the time I discovered the first two Duncan Browne albums, and was really attuned to delicate British folk pop. And Al Stewart, like Browne, is a fabulous guitarist.
I've picked up a couple of Stewart albums, and find his early work to be excellent.

> Glad to see an Al Stewart record mentioned. He's my personal favorite "Too well known to be called over-looked, but too overlooked to be as well known as he should be"! artist.
> This man has penned some pop classics that are sadly ignored and unfortunately he's more known for his lesser work like "Song on the radio"... what a shame. A lot of great tracks in his catalog that would appeal to Beatles fans (He seen by some as only MOR-AOR and others as only folk-rock, but the truth is he was a pop songwriter.)... Anyway, Modern Times is also my favorite.
