Such a lovefest... wish I could join in, but I don't like his music at
all!!! I bought a couple of his cds after reading similar remarks about
a year ago. Yes, rushed out and spent hard cold cash, and what a
disappointment! All cute little ditties, and lots of talk about love but
NO passion expressed, I mean, really, no heat, no depth, no energy, no
complexity, just a superficial sweetness and light, which I found
uninteresting and even annoying. His guitar playing got boring very
quickly too. So I'd suggest giving him a non-paid-for listen first. I
can appreciate how others might enjoy listening to him, and hearing
everything he's done or seeing him perform might change my mind, but
probably not. Two cds was a pretty good try I think.

P.S. I don't like Jonatha's music much either, and can't stand that
whine in her voice, so... what do I know?
