While I am on the topic of LA artist. I have searched for his s/t record for years. It's out of print here but you can buy a Japanese import for like 40 bucks. Produced by Rick Danko and the Band playing on it. Bobby wrote lots of songs for people like Ray Charles, Tom Jones, Fats Domino, Bill Haley, and Kris Kristofferson. I have always wanted to hear it.

And PopTodd, Allmusic says similar artist are Brinsley Schwarts and Nick Lowe.
