I've interviewed him a couple of times, and he was uncommonly thoughtful and deep.

Really sad about this. Up through Scar he's one of my all-time favorite songwriters and performers. (After that, I start to feel maybe I'm not middle-aged enough yet to really dig the material; something to look forward to perhaps.)

I haven't been able to unlock his most recent albums either. Excellent players, what sounds to my ears like dull results, but it could be because they are so unadorned, almost austere, perhaps forcing you to focus on the lyrics, which is not always my thing.
