1976. Second, and last, solo album by a remarkable guitarist. He died of a drug and alcohol overdose after opening for Jeff Beck in Miami in December of that year.

I meet 'em down at 'Barney's Beanery',
With their platform heels and spit curls.
I buy 'em drinks, we smoke our hopes,
Try and make it one more night.
But when I'm left all alone at last,
I feel like I'll die from fright."

It says a lot, despite it's surface simplicity. It makes me wish I had a guitar and knew how to use it.
