Everything he touches sounds the same. He even turned Bob Dylan into an orchestral player.

He did okay with Del Shannon on his last album (Rock On!), and some interesting work with him in the '70s (Deadly Game, Cry Baby Cry). Others don't work (Help Me, Distant Ghost). Jeff's affinity for falsetto harmonies works well with Del. "Rock On!" was not Del's best work, and the finished product wasn't going to be as much of a "comeback" as the early '80s "Drop Down and Get Me" with Tom Petty was, but it didn't all sound the same, and certainly not like an orchestral work.

Rock On! sounds almost exactly like the Wilburys.
