Stan Ridgeway??

I was in my local record store the other day, and they were playing an album
by a guy named Stan Ridgeway.  Sort of poppish, but with strange lyrics (for
some reason reminded me of a cross between Robyn Hitchcock and Tom Waits).
The voice sounded a lot like the singer from Mission of Burma.

Does anyone know anything about this guy?  I'll probably go out and buy the
album, but I'm just curious.
