I like 'Time On Earth' but it's definately NOT his first CD. 'So Many Tears Ago' is going to be next to impossible for him to match. I have alot of memories tied to his first CD so in a way that's what makes it so special. ~~ I think if you put them on back to back the first one just stands out as a much stronger CD, Vinny Burns might have something to do with that also.
