Earlier today, I sat down and listened to one of my favourite "runs" in T'LOG (these songs seem to belong together): CHINESE, CHEROKEE, DAWNTREADER, RICHARD, CIRCLE GAME (I've always skipped BORDERLINE, even on TI -- it does nothing for me).
And I have to say: the depth of pure EMOTION in Joni's performances of these songs is really quite staggering -- almost impossible to listen to if you're not in the right mood. The whole album is like that to me: grand, heavy (mostly). monumental. I have a feeling I will love it more and more as the years go by. MICHAEL
