The ones he writes, he pretty much sings.
He's a terrific craftsman, guitar player, songwriter,
arranger, harmony singer, vocalist. I think his greatest contribution
is what he did to Stevie's and Christine's songs.
That guitar part at the end of Gypsy is brilliant,
and the arrangement of Everywhere (which has to be his) is pure genius.
However, to me, most of his solo stuff leaves me kinda cold.
Some stuff I like, but some of it I think he maybe tries too hard,
and I think he spends too much time in the studio.
That being said, I do think he's one of the most original artists
[and guitar players) of the last 30 years, but doesn't get enough credit.
