Hi Bree, Well, I heard her name a few times and thought she might be the person who originally did 'Big Yellow Taxi'! Then I came accross all her CD's in a record store. I was drawn to them by the art-work and had to buy one. I got 'Hits' to start with. I now have all her albums! I really can't get enough of her music. She is a huge infulence to me. I will never understand why she is so under-rated.
Yes it's a shame alot of other people my age aren't into her music. The truth is though; people are too shalow and just go with the crowd! There doesn't seem to be much originality. I can also understand that alot of people might not be able to identify or relate to it. Alot of her music isn't instant either. People are inpatient though because that is part of the magic to her music. Alot of it is timesless.
