"Wasted Words" is a throwaway IMHO. Queen of Hearts or Multi-Colored over it 10 of 10 times... and "These Days" has to be there. and I can come out of the closet and say that "I'm No Angel" is just super cheesy. I wouldn't put it on any list.
I have never been a fan of I’m No Angel, which is an exact copy of Bill Medley’s original release. But it’s one of his iconic tracks.
I’m always partial to Wasted Words because Chank told me it was about him in a Macon dive bar in the late 90s. But Come & Go Blues is my favorite Gregg song of this era and among my favorite ABB songs of all-time.
These Days is one of Gregg’s finest interpretations. Almost all of Laid Back should make this list.
I’ve always loved Wasted Words…I don’t know, I can relate to it in many ways from my younger, wilder years. I 100 percent agree with Queen Of Hearts, These Days and Multicolored Lady. I would definitely add Oncoming Traffic to the list. Heck, I’d add several others as well, lol. Please Call Home (Idlewild version) and definitely Don’t Keep Me Wonderin.
Whew!!! That was an amazing version! Thanks for sharing that! I’m shocked that I’d never heard that one before. That’s one of my favorite shots of Gregg as well.

Oncoming Traffic is probably my favorite of his solo songs. Here's one of my favorite shots of Gregg along with a 2005 version of Oncoming Traffic.

I know it's staged but it just evokes the first verse:
"Tuesday found me,
Standing by the highway.
Seemed like no one, no one
Was going my way."
Very true. The image makes the verse come a little more alive in a sense.
