About

This career overview shows how one man with a hushed voice and an acoustic guitar spoke volumes. “Last Call,” from 1994, finds his intimate multi-tracked vocals, intricate fingerpicking, and deeply personal lyrics already in place. “Pictures of Me” displays his knack for Beatles-esque pop, while an early version of “Miss Misery” exposes the delicate bones of the melancholy musical spine to <i>Good Will Hunting</i>.
