this sums it up perfectly. I really really agree with Gregg here. I
heard richard do a live radio NPR tour prior to Mirror Blue and was blown
away by the songs and looking forward to it . . . then I get the disc and
it is flat, overproduced, w/bizarre drums and percussiona and a couple of
stupid songs about fast food/cars that I (w/complete ignorance) blame on
Froom! <g>
This is well said -- the less production the better with a talent like RT.
