Query: Unhappy he is...

I used to think this guy ranked right up there with with Woodie Guthie when it came to writing and singing about people..history, feeling, longing and life. First listened to him at the Broken Spoke in '84 and bought every "album" since then. NOT any longer. What's a story? What's a lyrical song? Or do we want to pander to NYC commercial distaste(reviews)? Robert used to write songs that touched the heart and mind. This last album is a capitulation to top 40 format and style and the possibility of commercial sucess. Who can blame him but...it sounds like everyone else and the songs don't last over a radio 2.3 minutes. He's too good not to be liked, BUT is this real? I'm sorry I bought it...he seems as unhappy about singing this album as I am about listening to it. But the reviewers seem to love it. If you are a Robert Earl fan I could not in good faith recommend this
