Anyone else here who digs PF Sloan?

I seem to go into a PF Sloan frenzy every second or third year or so. And right now my stereo is yet again churning out a no-holds-barred Sloan fest!    I can literally listen to all those great Sloan-Barri classics and his equally fine solo recordings for days on end.

Anyone else here who likes his stuff?

I personally think he's so much more than the poor man's Dylan (or Beach Boys clone / Beatles clone / 'insert any other 60s pop icon' clone) some tend to call him. Sure, he, and often together with Steve Barri, was one heck of a musical chameleon but I've rarely heard anyone do it better or more refreshingly than him.

Of his solo sides THIS overlooked gem is one of my alltime favourites:

There's also a really cool, low-key demo version of this song...

Yeah, I dig him too. I think this is a pop masterpiece....written by Sloan, sung by Tillotson, 1967.

Perfect choice! That's one of my favourites as well. Such a beautiful song.

I can't decide whether I prefer Tillotson's take or the stunning Sloan demo on the Trousdale Demoes compilation. That comp blew my mind when I got it years ago...
