Can't sing, can't play the guitar.
Great song writer. And there is great meaning in many of his lyrics.

You have obviously missed out on a great artist.
Check out his take on Corina from his first album.

I'm in my sixties and In have listened to everything he's ever done. Some of it I really like, and he's worked with many great musicians. But I think his main talent is songwriting. Just about every time anyone has done one of his songs, it sounds better than his version.
