Jack,
I'd most definitely get his s/t from 1989 on MCA - a great AOR album. Especially "Blowing Up Detroit" is still one of my fave tracks from the 80's. I think he did a couple of solo albums even before that. "Pictures Of Pleasure" was released around 1985, I think. That one has more of a bluesy edge though. And then there's also the great Arc Angels album he did with the two guys from Stevie Ray Vaughan's band, C. Layton and T. Shannon. Also bluesy, but still lots of good hooks and melodies. More recently, he released the Sexton Sextet CD called "Under A Wishing Tree". Definitely a more modern and moody sounding affair, but if you invest a little bit of time, you might like it. I do.
