You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?

Gino Vannelli : "Yonder Tree"
Most people only know Gino Vannelli from "I just wanna STOP!...and tell you what I feel about you babe", but that is such a little corner of his discography. The man is a brilliant composer and poet. And he is infact my favorite singer and has been for 30 years.
