Suddenly a door jumps open and in comes a topic-related interest. A well known acquaintance by the name of James Taylor pays another visit in my mind. The mature October Road was a fresh surprise and like the soundtrack of some love affair. We luckily had kind of a letterman that days, Schmidt was his name and in his TV show one late night his sideman Helmut Zerlett brought the conversation to your album. He called it brilliant, with a featured drummer legend named Steve Gadd. These days again I am trying to figure out some songs of yours on my guitar, like we did often in that folky days of the last century´s Seventies. Your voice is a gem and the fingerpicking style is unique, combining folk, jazz, country and the good old rock´n roll. Looking forward listening to American Standard in a couple of days.
