Data Insight
Twelve of the nineteen tracks are his alone, the most on any record here. Running his own label meant nobody else needed a credit, and the writing shows it: the album is longer and more his than anything before or after.
Love, War and the Ghost of Whitey Ford came out on his own Martyr Inc. label in September 2008 and runs 63 minutes across nineteen tracks, the longest album in the catalogue.
