“His talent is simply beyond compare. His performances are beautiful beyond words. While every song he sings touches my heart, my favorites remain those that he wrote himself. Mama and Angel Without a Wing are two songs that are pure miracles. I am stunned to listen to and experience the full effect of them.”
