I’ve always loved this guy’s voice. I think I picked up a couple of his CDs back in my ancient Interscope days, and to this day still pull out this album and enjoy it immensely. I used to use it as night music to help me unwind from the day, but now I can enjoy his Western by way of Canada folk pop during daylight hours as well. At the time, back in ’97, when I first discovered this album I hid it like a guilty pleasure because of its clear softness (not rock! enough), but now with the success and general hipster acceptance of contemporary equivalents like David Karsten Daniels and Andrew Bird (different but the same), I can say I listened to him when. A truly enjoyable time.
