Any Michael Franks Fans ?


I have been enjoying Michael's music since the 1970's & had the opportunity to see him live on one occasion. As a musician I appreciate his vocal phrasing & I suppose the fact he uses some of the top name jazz musicans on his recording session is one of the reasons I continue to purchase his recordings. My question is, from an audiophile view point, what record/CD do you think have the best sonic qualities.
Thanks! Geno

I am along with Aisip and Viridian on Frishberg, and Mose Allison is a classic. However, I would add that there are several Frank's recordings that are very worthy from a sonic and content standpoint. Burchfield Nines, One Bad Habit, and Objects of Desire come immediately to mind. Franks always surrounds himself with very good studio musicians, Michael Brecker being almost a mainstay. Nearly every Franks tune is worth a careful listen because lyrical twists abound, some much more satirical and risqué than is first evident!

BTW, I heard two of his recordings on CD and was sorely disappointed in comparison to the vinyl version. Maybe it was just those two......
