Again with Phil Collins, brighter and brass-driven, home to "Behind the Mask" and the duet "Tearing Us Apart".

A return to form spanning blues, rock and pop, with the hits "Bad Love" and "Pretending" and a deep roster of guests.

An all-blues covers album and a heartfelt tribute to his heroes, cut live in the studio and hailed as one of his finest.

A studio album of Robert Johnson covers, repaying a lifelong debt to the Delta blues legend who shaped his playing.

His first album of new original songs in years, mellow and domestic in mood, reflecting settled family life.
