This self titled studio album captures a definitive era for the versatile pop vocalist featuring a polished sound produced by the legendary Richard Perry. The cover art presents a striking portrait that reflects the transition from seventies soft rock into the sophisticated studio arrangements of the late decade. Including songwriting contributions from major industry names like Jackson Browne and Tom Snow this release showcases the singer moving beyond his early character based performances toward a more mature contemporary style.

Listeners will recognize the hallmark Warner Bros Records production quality that made this period a high point for high fidelity analog recordings. It remains a essential piece for collectors interested in the evolution of radio pop and the refined singer songwriter movement of the late seventies.
