His voice and style changed quite a bit after the 80's.  I didn't even realize that he had a couple of albums out in the 90's. I checked them out.. and the songs don't appeal to me.  Another recording around 2019 called "Solo" is also unimpactful musically. His voice loses the low register, and he spends a lot of time "squeezing out" the higher notes.  But many of the songs have excellent life-musing lyrics.  I think other singers could give those later songs in the 90's a better chance to be noticed.

The Sundown album seems to be the most recent best.  I'd add the tune "The Watchman's Gone", and "Is There Anyone Home" to the above list as worthy listens.
