Black Love has become a cult classic among the "spiritual" crowd, but frankly I think it's one of the lesser works of the genre.
Garnett had a 1996 (recorded in 1995) date on Muse (Resurgence that's a decent enough "neo-con" effort. Still nothing to shout about, though, not really.
On the whole, I think of Garnett (who was living/gigging in Houston last I heard - 3 or 4 years ago) as one of the "foot soldiers" of the music, a guy who's out there doing it. Even if the results make little or no difference to the world at large, hey - they make a difference to him, and he keeps on doing it for that reason. Somebody's gonna hear him and be reached at some level. That deserves at least some respect in my book.
