His voice and style changed quite a bit after the 80's.  I didn't even realize
that he had a couple of albums out in the 90's. I checked them out.. and the
songs don't appeal to me.  Another recording around 2019 called "Solo" is also
unimpactful musically. His voice loses the low register, and he spends a lot
of time "squeezing out" the higher notes.  But many of the songs have
excellent life-musing lyrics.  I think other singers could give those later
songs in the 90's a better chance to be noticed.

The Sundown album seems to be the most recent best.  I'd add the tune "The
Watchman's Gone", and "Is There Anyone Home" to the above list as worthy
listens.
