sorry about the previous misfire guys, i guess i was so out of breath that i just lost it ! this would be a good opportunity to say i'm so caught up in T'log i don't know whether i'm coming of going. GASP...a few thoughts as i come up for air: the packaging...do i even need to say how gorgeous the whole thing is. the sound...it fills me , flows through me, and then fills me again ! some standouts...' refuge of the roads ' a stunner to begin with and she has taken it up several notches. the harps in this rendition are superb...i love the change of lyric from ' he drank and womanized ' to ' a drunk with sage's eyes.' ( that joni...always playing around with her lyrics ! ) ' amelia ' the original made me tear up when i heard it...this update touches me so deeply i cry just thinking about it ! ' the sire of sorrow ( job's sad song )' was very cathartic for me when it was first released, having lost my lover to AIDS just a short time before...this new version is even more so. i love the male chorus she has added as the antagonists, it is so the right touch ! and ' the dawntreader ' not one of my choices for all time favorite...has just gotten a rank of " i can't believe this wasn't an all time favorite before, what was i thinking ?" well...gotta go i'm experiencing withdrawl. more later .
jonily yours, warren keith p.s. ' otis and marlena ' is the BOMB !!!
