The list of great songs he has written is pretty long. The list of superb recordings is even longer. He has the gift of being able to make a cover his own (Handyman, You've Got A Friend). He's been recording as long as Joni, and although I don't put him on her level as a writer, a recording artist doesn't last for 5 decades, continuing to produce new work, on meager talent. Bob, who realizes if he was doing a James Taylor covers project he'd have an even bigger chore on his hands... NP: Mary-Chapin Carpenter, "Stones In The Road"
