There are plenty of us here that think this is a great great CD. I related to your comment about how emotional your response has been. I have had the same intense reaction, crying at least once every time I listen to one or the other CD's. Somehow, the selections seem either utterly contemporary or achingly nostalgic. I am about the same age as Joni, and have been in love with her music since the first album, so I think there is a component of remembrance of things past to some of the cuts. For example, I have such a strong connection to Chinese Cafe partly because of the strong memories I have of the time I was listening to it and the people I was listening to it with.
Somehow, too, and I have no idea why, the lyrics to the songs seem to have gained a prominence and a power that I never picked up on before.
