Anybody out there familiar with this guy?  Incredibly good songwriter and singer.  The songs go straight to the heart, and beautiful melodies.  A friend of mine at work (who is always introducing me to new things) slapped the earphones on me with this playing.  It is in some ways in the DB acoustic vein eg China Lake, Stranger etc.. He does the songs totally unadorned...acoustic guitar, voice..that's it.   His voice really does the trick. Great inflections; unusual melody lines.  Highly Recommended.

I'm gonna go out and get some right away.  Just dial him up on the net.  They have great downloads, lyrics.  Here's a sample:

HALFWAY HOME 4:56

I first started hanging with Laura Lee, when they took away her father
We'd go on down to the five and dime, where she was no man's daughter
I took her favorite doll from the shelf, 'cause I thought that she deserved it
But the next time I passed by the store I saw that she'd returned it
I'd look outside my window, stare across the street
She'd wave back, kill the light, and settle off to sleep
I'd feel the hole inside my heart, and wish that we were grown
And someday Laura Lee and me would be more than halfway home
