We're dealing with a long lasting legacy of music for all ages to enjoy and for many more to discover for decades to come. The changes in his musical styles is just a part of an evolution of his career. I am glad he has decided to explore his vault and reinvent himself by reworking his unreleased songs without destroying the integrity of the original recordings. The new version of Empty Room for example is one of the best songs that I've heard from him in quite some time. It has so much more power and emotion than the previous two versions, and blows them out of the water. I just hope it'll have a more proper release than C-Note.
