Seventh studio album by the American singer-songwriter. Stylistically different from his previous LPs, the album moves away from the piano and string orchestra arrangements of his late 1970s releases, replacing them instead with unusual instrumentation and a somewhat more abstract songwriting approach. The album features the single 'In the Neighbourhood'.
