Driven by the massive, career-defining folk-pop hit 'Romeo's Tune', the Mississippi native's sophomore effort fully established him in the late-70s singer-songwriter boom. The production leans into highly accessible, radio-friendly pop rock, perfectly highlighting his raspy, earnest vocal delivery and keenly observant lyricism. Despite heavy critical comparisons to Bob Dylan early in his career, the record demonstrated his singular talent for crafting perfect, melodic heartland rock.
