He still loves to tell stories - most are like little screenplays, with "Shooting Star" offering details and textures and a sense of drama akin to a finished film (in the manner of "Taxi"). The "haunt count" on this album is extremely high, boosted by gorgeous ballads like "She Sings Songs Without Words.

The follow-up single, "I Wanna Learn a Love Song," barely entered the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. A third single, "What Made America Famous?", failed to chart. The album was certified gold on December 17, 1974.

Verities & Balderdash (1974), his fourth studio album, was arguably his masterpiece. Over the course of the next few years, his fame grew, thanks to a series of minor hit singles and to a huge amount of American FM radio airplay. His first and third albums, Heads & Tails (1972) and Short Stories (1973) were both quite successful (although his second, Sniper and Other Love Songs (1972) was much less popular).
