    Yeah like him alot, though the more i see him live the less enthuastic about his shows i get.
    When he came over here first he was fantastic he just got up played his songs and that was it, but now he tries to talk and involve the crowd in singalongs and it invariably backfires or has very little impact. He should stop trying to be an all round entertainer and just be a musician, thats what hes amazing at.

    The first album is fantastic too, the hidde track "stuck to you" is class, you've probably herad him do it live, about non-stick frying pans and gravity and stuff.

    Not sure about him sounding like Nick Drake though, a bit more like Johnny Cash or even Dylan a bit i reckon.
