  1. Gift of Screws is a standout even in his catalog.
  2. Gift of Screws is only his fifth solo record. Perhaps that's why the singer and guitarist (who turns 60 next month) still sounds so vital and passionate, especially on the voluptuous, opening songs 'Great Day' and 'Time Precious Time,' where his luminescent riffs and nimble finger-picking shine.
  3. Buckingham remains the master of type A chamber pop.
