Yeah I always considered his style as kumbaya surfer blues
I always liked that album that tune was off of, but hearing some story on it, it makes sense to me now as my tastes have always leaned towards the "raw" stuff, too much shine and polish I tend to start thinking about too many takes and too many rehearsal hours, and my skin starts to crawl and I can't just enjoy it, I haven nightmares about how much work it took Star People is one I have, but haven't heard in years, I should give that another listen, will probably do that while I'm off to bed after a long weekend.
