In one mode, he functions as a modern protest singer in the vein of James McMurtrey and Evan Greer, though lyrically he harks back more to the days of Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan (Epiphany, a surreal waltz about the so-called War On Terror; The Stars Look Down, about the on-going saga of Guantanamo Bay; Penury, a song about the credit crisis written 15 years before it happened). In another mode, he is the rhapsodic balladeer of Impale Me On Your Beauty, which owes much to Leonard Cohen, his favourite artist and lyricist, in terms of mood and word. In yet another, he is even more of a spiritual excavator, with the as yet unrecorded Armageddon Love Songs trilogy and the Don McLean influenced I'm The Man Who Runs The Fair.
