Daryl Hall's Can't Stop Daydreaming cd, is it just me?

Does anyone out there enjoy the 2003 Daryl Hall solo album, "I Can't Stop Dreaming" except me? I know solo records don't fair very well but this one shines. "Cab Driver" opens the disc and is one of my favorite songs even today. Most of the tracks are mellow, but not boring. "Justify" and "All By Myself" could have played on radio. And "She's Gone" acoustic is just perfect, IMO. Hall's voice remains a smooth instrument on this gem of a cd. At a time when pop music seems so canned and bland, AND UNDER 30, check out these vocals. What happened to vocals?? Pop in this cd, sit back or go for a ride, and enjoy. If you have not heard it, please check it out.

It's actually quite good. Hall is very under-rated as a vocalist and songwriter. These days, people thing "oh, Hall & Oates, they're adult contemporary artists", not realizing that back in the day these guys got plenty of airplay on the R&B stations.
