As I did with BSN, I think the best way to listen to Travelogue is with a nice glass of wine and sitting in a nice hot tub or Jacuzzi. I've finished with disk 1 and I absolutely love it..........I'm *waterlogued* :~), but it's great. Joni has done it again.
Sure there's no lyrics we can pick apart, but the orchestration and Joni's voice sounds great. I did have to listen to "Sire of Sorrow" a couple of times more. When I heard the antagonists, it threw me back a little. This was VERY different from Joni being in the chorus. An all male chorus chanting back to her. I listened to this song two more times, then I listened to the original from TI. It's very different, but it's great. It's such a contrast hearing these deep voices in the chorus. Some people might not like the way Joni does this song, but I think she was *right on*. On to disk two while I dry off :~) Jimmy (loving Travelogue and Joni)
