| Although his voice has gotten much better over the years, personally, I think his songwriting has gone in the opposite direction, with rare exceptions here and there. I don't think he'll ever equal his first two albums, his self-titled debut and his sophomore album Poses. Those two albums of chamber pop have some exceptional songcraft, wonderful arrangements by the likes of Jon Brion and his tin pan alley / theatrical influences are very present. | |

| I frankly don't like his voice. It's too nasal for me. | |

| I have developed an appreciation of his take on "If Love Were All"* on the Garland Carnegie recreation. It has a unique blend of world-weariness and youthful reflection on a (love) life only half over that comes off as unaffected and charming. *But the Ebersole version on her Coward album is truly sublime. I love the verses. |
