	"Kathy McCarty's beautifully crafted interpretations of some of Daniel's best songs...."

The list author says:
	"lots of other people have covered his songs too...."

The list author says:

The list author says:
	"and if you really can't stand his voice or his music you might be relieved to know that he's equally well known for his art (although you might not like that either)...."
