Frankly, I think Taking Liberties (his collection of B-sides mostly) was much better. Anyway, he made up for it with the following five albums (Imperial Bedroom to Blood and Chocolate and the three in-between)
EDIT: Note, I omitted Almost Blue. I don't really put it that in the class of his other albums simply because I'm not really that much into country. Have a lot of respect for what he was trying to do though.
