Oh I liked him too, I just can't fathom how he sold that close to 300K back then. But the market was different even two years ago. That CD was shit. I still play his old stuff every once in a while when I'm feeling Southern rock-ish, and I still love his crazy drunken live bootlegs.
i'm always a little bitter over his lack of promotion. The opening numbers IMO were a good sign, he could have sold if they had just tried. Even if they didn't like the guy, I thought business was supposed to be business, you know? Who doesn't want to make more money? FWIW at least he did get certified platinum (I think actual sales were about 750k though, there was some gross overshipment going on there).
