+1 Nick I agree. I saw him play many times over the years, through good and not so good phases of his life and career, and he always played with such appeal and, well, joy. Some of his style - playing chords up high on the neck - was also really innovative for the time. Absolutely love the feeling of his solos. “Baby Please” on that record, for example, is right up there with any song that opens with a guitar solo.
The thing is: That album has some most excellent songwriting.
Inside your rooms, behind your walls
I see your face
You know I hear your call
Is this some madness that’s been left unchecked
Or will there always be just promises?
Running in the wilderness and dreaming in the sun
And cryin’ to the sky at night for God’s eternal son
There are men that hold the key
To set everybody free
But they are lonely ones
And if the day should come
When they all can work as one
There’ll be a destiny
Yes, I know
Running in the wilderness and dreaming in the sun
Cryin’ to the sky at night for God’s eternal son
Yeah, yeah...
