I knew songwriter/singer Garland Jeffreys a little back in the mid-1970s in the West Village, just after his heralded debut solo album (which had some reggae-influenced stuff) came out and we raved in Crawdaddy.

Here's one of best songs from that debut, which was supposed to be a hit single:

Jeffreys' self-titled debut album came out in 1973 on Atlantic Records. Ghost Writer, which contained Cool Down Boy, was release in 1977.
