Mr. Nice Guy [Remastered] - Ronnie Laws

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: None

...I got into this guy quite a few years ago by an ex; he was an avid listener and collector of Bob Dylan's work and since that time well I still can't seem to get enough of Dylan and his lyrics.

The album slows don for the first cover , Bob Dylan's "Mama You Been On My Mind". Things pick up with "Italian Girls" before slowing down with another cover, this time Jimi Hendrix... Read review
