Followed this guy since his stint in the great 60's band, Spirit, through Jo Jo Gunne and slowly lost interest as his solo albums got slicker and slicker. These two still sound pretty good to me these many years later.
Trivia: Jay wrote the theme song for 'The Office' TV show

I remember "Shakedown Cruise" from this album! I always got a laugh out of the lyrics to that one (the part about stripping sails/licking decks being compared to having sex). Everybody may remember him from "Thunder Island" (also a great song!), but his other stuff was pretty great, too.

Jay's solo career completely baffled me.
This was same guy who co-fronted Spirit on their 1st four essential albums & then formed the-very-different-but-still-excellent Jo Jo Gunne?
Will the real Jay Ferguson please stand up?
