Sorry for the very delayed reply R_burke! Thank you for the link - I've had a little delve into his solo stuff as well. Think I prefer the music that results when he and Derek Trucks work together. Maybe it's that old timey thing - it's more marked - he seems to sound a lot more like the 60's on his own. I see he's co-authored a book - Poetic Song Verse: Blues-Based Popular Music and Poetry - no slouch in the words department!
I've now listened to the final chapter of this quite ambitious four album saga - I AM THE MOON: IV. Farewell, and interestingly, as with III also most enjoyed the track on which he provides the vocals. Not a whole lot to write home about otherwise, IMHO - although pleasant enough and well executed.
