Another Time is good but as it is predominantly covers it isn't great. Their are times where Bryan gets a bit too country as well, but mostly he keeps within tasteful limits.

Dylanesque immediately struck me as really muscially strong as well as the obvious lyrics strength. Not having heard a lot of Dylan I can't compare Bryan's covers to the originals but nonetheless they are well constructed and very professionally done songs.

Olympia is my favourite of his solo albums so far. Smart, balanced pop/rock here with strong melodies to boot. Bryan's almost croon has aged but it gives the vocals a mature, melancholic feel. As usual there are two strong covers, but the Ferry originals here are where the main strength of the album lies.
