i had no idea he sings "heart of gold" btw...
any thoughts/suggestions on other albums?
I don't know...I think On the Beach is a wicked album. It's so different from the first two you mention, and it's so experimental, but at the same time it all comes together really well.
Another reason I like it is probably because it isn't "really good americana."
