He was my inspiration for learning the guitar in the first place. Great player, great singer, great songwriter, and excellent guy.

Cool. But, let's see... no mention of some Live CDs and DVDs, a Best Of, Liberty Manifesto, reCOVERy Room 9 (covers), Then Again...(Triumph Covers), and The Bonfire Sessions.

This is simply a wiki list. Love the band, but this is just wasted space 🚀.
