Maybe the body snatchers got him. In his shining youth, the raspy Scot was a moving balladeer and sweet rock & roller. That was before these dreary ’80s and ’90s tracks. Careless performances, formulaic originals and inferior covers of classics (Elton John’s “Your Song”) suggest contempt for his fans — and worse, for his own once-imposing talent.
