I guess the part I disagree with is "...rare recordings over the past decade or two have seemed but dim echoes of former glory." Sorry, but I don't see "Drifters," "Restless," "Tattoo" or other songs from later albums as lesser works, or 'dim echoes'. The voice has faded but the intelligence in the writing has not. That's all I was sighing about.
