Not up there with their best, but slick 'n snappy enough for the occasional listen.

Now there's a thing.  I used to be firmly of the view that things Dan started to tail off after the first two. I still really liked the albums and always bought them, but...

Then Everything came out and it just connected with me utterly and, objectively, somewhat oddly. Nowadays this and Gaucho are my goto Dan albums.

I suspect age.

1973 - U.K. Pressing A3/B3...

There are so many pressings of this album but the SQ on this one is quite involving  with some folks considering it one of the best. It's rather good, actually!!!

Boz Scaggs - Fade Into Light

If you are in the mood for something cool, smooth and melodic to ease your mind, this might just fit the bill.

Cheers fella.

Was only wondering today I should get more of his material. Obviously meant to be!

With a kind of Asian influence, need a couple of times before I can place the album in my mind...
