Awesome album indeed. I double checked and Van hit 50, the year that album came out. In all honesty, he already sounded like an old man, in his early 20s. I guess some people have old souls ;<)
I prefer his later stuff, post 1990. Especially recordings since 2018. I believe poets, painters, song-writers can improve with age, as long as they’re committed. And that’s the hard part. So many who get big, just can’t find the will to push through creatively. Resting on laurels comes easy to those with laurels. Van is an anomaly.
