   His voice and style changed quite a bit after the 80's.  I didn't even realize   
   that he had a couple of albums out in the 90's. I checked them out.. and the   
   songs don't appeal to me.  Another recording around 2019 called "Solo" is also   
   unimpactful musically. His voice loses the low register, and he spends a lot   
   of time "squeezing out" the higher notes.  But many of the songs have   
   excellent life-musing lyrics.  I think other singers could give those later   
   songs in the 90's a better chance to be noticed.   
      
   The Sundown album seems to be the most recent best.  I'd add the tune "The   
   Watchman's Gone", and "Is There Anyone Home" to the above list as worthy   
   listens.
