Good call Christelle - I neglected to mention it but I had wondered when 
listening to this whether it was just the mix that was bad, and maybe 
when 'live' his playing was really more in the background behind the 
vocals.

I guess I shouldn't have used the word 'wail' for a player of that 
stature, but again it's just opinion and that piece wasn't my cup of 
tea. Maybe I'll check out that album.
