<< Although her first album is truly unimprovable, anyone who likes this album
really should dive in further, particularly the very similar follow up
'Show Some Emotion'. In my mind, to stop at the eponymous album is
comparable to enjoying 'Blue' and not listening to 'For the Roses', let
alone 'Hejira'. My personal favourites are the reggae-ish 'To The Limit'
criminally now deleted and 'Me Myself I', which is just flawless. >>
Mais bien sur! I was in no way suggesting stopping at the the JA album
(which was actually her third, if you count the "Whatever's For Us" album she
made with Pam Nestor, the second being Back To The Night); in fact, once JA
had finished, I went straight to Show Some Emotion, which is also very
lovely. I will go to To The Limit next. Personally, Me Myself I doesn't
quite hit those heights, although All The Way From America is truly
wonderful. Even her less-good works have a few great songs. The Key wasn't
that great, but it did contain "Drop The Pilot", one of her biggest hits and
an unusually up-tempo and irresistible rocker.
By the way, Colin, agree with you about the shortage of traffic on the list!
Spare a thought for us, folks, and raise a few glasses for the
