Here's one of his best and least appreciated songs:

"And your oarsman stands with his knife in hand,
And his eyes spell mutiny
Don't call my name when your ship goes down
On the datk and the rolling sea."

Always liked Al. Year Of The Cat is still one of my favorite mellow songs ever.
He sounds pretty good here. The standard voice changes we all go through as we get older are there, but still a very pleasant voice.
