i think some people believe he's a poor man's springsteen...i, on the other had, believe him to be an amazing writer/performer...i have most of his albums, but until recently had forgotten how much i enjoyed his music...his 2 cd greatest hits package just came out, and we were giving away copies at work..so i took one for the car, and song after song after song....brilliant..i'm watching his live show on A&E tonight(repeated i'm sure over the next few days), and the way he's redoing his material and making it sound fresh...wow...if you haven't before, i urge you to give this man the respect he deserves!!

not only that, he's instrumental in Farm-Aid
