To each his own... I've been a huge fan since No Rest For the Wicked. I have pretty much everything he's ever done including his first solo attempt Pride & Glory. Has some decent stuff on it with Machinegun Man being one of my favorites.
But I love the "Book of Shadows" album. Some of the songs on there...words can't say enough about. ("I Thank You Child," "Road Back Home," "Way Beyond Empty," "Between Heaven & Hell")...and "January" w/ BLS. Love it....
