Query: Great stuff, but it's an artist's indulgence

This one has got Ian's best songs on it, along with some of his finest performances. It's rare that an artist can toned himself down and end up sounding more distinct for it, but that's what Ian does. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't cohere to me. The styles jump around a little too much, but with the skip button on the cd player, that's not much of a problem. Also, although I pretty much love everything that Ian does, the ragtime of "Ain't feeling No Pain" is just plain jive to me. Coulda been left off.
