Can I just say that I really love the Album Cover art?

When I first turned on this Album, I wasn't too enthralled about listening to more Blues. However, something about this...it just felt different. Maybe it was his voice. Whatever the case, I ended up really liking this album. It was chill and laid-back, but still had emotions there if you needed it. The song's timings were perfect. It ended beautifully on key, something that seems to be rare on this list. It just felt like it lacked a certain kind of energy.

Then again, it is blues.
