I like the songs on this a little more than on Ghost Writer, but it's slightly more derivative (he sounds like he's trying to do his best Elvis Costello impersonation), so it evens out at the same grade. I like the EP that came with this, Escapades, a little more, and would give it 7.5 (high B+), mainly for the two reggae songs on the second side, but it's still #singersongwriter/folk/blues like the album proper. Too bad, because it looks like it sold as a separate seven-inch EP as its own separate release, at least in the UK/Europe. I'll probably cave on this and/or Ghost Writer one day, because it seems wrong to only have King of In Between by this artist.
