Though not a big fan, I have an old LP in pretty good condition. I believe it's "Frisco Mabel Joy". (I am not at home, so I can't check.) During an interview some years ago he said "I can't bend what I do to fit the tastes of teenagers" when asked why he didn't sell many records. I put him in the same category as guys like Jim Weatherly. Guys who are good songwriters, listenable though not great singers, other people's interpretations of their work tend to sell way better than their own.
