His first album i found after he began to smash hit hard and i would totally rank him high and influential as a singer song writer.

I think for us a numerical ranking is largely personal and subjective but i think because we have writing songs in common we can agree on his contribution and mysical legacy. Heard a Harry Chapin song covered on The Voice and was reminded of how good he was.

What is definitely true is Couch's maxim to study the writers and music you want to write


If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
