Many people regard this as his best release and, outside of “10 Days Out”, I would be inclined to agree. While dismissed by the critics as a young gun protege’ with lots of style but no soul, the fans took to it without issue. […]

It may still be a while before he says something original, but he plays with style, energyand dedication, which is more than enough for a debut album. […]
