Here's one of these "real-people" critics telling it like he sees it. It's from Amazon.com. He gives the album one star out of five and titles his piece, "Hey, Joni, have another cigarette!"
---- Three words: Save Your Money. It's hard to believe these strained croakings emanate from a woman who once had such a gorgeous voice. I know there are zillions of fans who will disagree, but listening to this album is too painful for me. Joni may be bursting with creativity and great ideas, but you have to wonder about someone who has destroyed their vocal cords on purpose with a lifetime of chain-smoking. I think her next CD should be a tribute to Tom Waits, since she is sounding more and more like him. Pitiful! Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now
