"Interesting musician - but why are we discussing him on Mudcat?"

Because anyone can discuss anything at this here Café. Ain't it grand?!

On the other hand, I dislike his whiney voice on some tunes. On the other hand, I just checked out YouTube and anyone that can pull over 34M hits on one song can't be a hack eh?

I don't care much for his music but I DO admire his bank account. >;-)
