liked it, bought it, played it often - friends liked it too - ''madelaine'' and ''the ballad of curséd anna'' were the stand-outs i still remember fondly - four of us went to see him on tour and quite enjoyed the concert: his patter was good, and he sang his songs well; but he sang (& played) nothing new or old - it was pretty much just a promotion for the lp...
- and his ''sound'' was so dependent upon the kopikat (?''copicat''?) - a guitarist's pedal-controlled electronic echo device, iirc - making up for his reliance upon simply strumming chords to accompany his voice - and it got boring. it got very boring. he used it on every song. and not just on every song, but always with the same time-delay setting. . .
it got terminally boring. neither i, nor any of my friends, even looked out for a follow-up album, never mind asked to listen to (whatever it was) in our local record shops...
- did he actually recover from his success with this, his first rca lp ?
- because it was & is good - just, the kopikat alone kouldn't kover his lack of picking tekneek.
