Nobody I know has ever heard of him, and I only came across his music by chance. All his other albums are modern R&B, but The Lost Album is a total throwback to more of a 70's vibe - heavy on Beach Boys, Crosby Stills & Nash and Todd Rundgren, with a minor dose of Hendrix here and there too.
Here's a review of the album that explains it better than I can:

If you are any kind of Beach Boys fan, try listening to "Say I Love You", especially the last minute and tell me it doesn't make you feel extra good.
