Maybe he feels that he's put as much effort into that material as he can...maybe he really, only has a vault of demos and album outtakes...maybe he's turned into Steve Miller, Paul McCartney or Jeff Lynne and feels he's famous enough to release half-hearted ideas, or maybe he thinks he's Robert Cray or Eric Clapton and wants to release the same album 5 or 6 times in a row. Who knows.
