Interesting choices, strange exclusions
A 'greatest hits' compilation with no 'Winter In America', 'B-Movie', 'Johannesburg', or 'Angel Dust'?? - strange. However, as I've got all those tracks anyway, and some of these are completely new to me, not a bad thing.

He's best described as a political, black, jazzy version of Leonard Cohen. Enjoy.
