That's really good! Like you, I'm not familiar with much else that he's done apart from SD. 'Greatest Hits Live' is wothwhile, focussing more on the 'blue eyed soul' end of things and with a crack band. It takes a bold man to cover a Neil Young song but I like this:

Definitely Graham. I was very surprised that I gave 5 points to Silk Degrees. I’ve always regarded it as a guilty pleasure; it reminds me of some good times. But tracks keep popping up on playlists and the appreciation of Boz in last month’s Mojo magazine helped.
