Haven't heard it, but now I'm going to! I love so much of his work. Did you ever hear his collaboration with Wes Montgomery? Fan****ingtastic.

I especially like the band photo on OK Ken? Where Christine and co are pictured wiith fans and mannequins. Strange but evocative, just this side of weird, almost haunting.

No, but I'll put it on the list!

I think you'll really like Root Down, it's just a great R&B live jam record.
