You are not gonna *believe* how much better it is. Imagine every song *at
least* as good as her version of "Planet Of Love," and many of 'em
surpassing her singing on that one. It totally screwed up my productivity
yesterday. It was all I could listen to yesterday afternoon, and when I
got home after a long meeting, I had to play it twice more. Mike's
justifiably impressed by the knockout title song -- well, every single
other song on it is also an aural treat, and every time I listened,
something else about it floored me. Buddy Emmons' otherworldly pedal
steel on the closing track just about made me break down and cry like a
little girl. I know I'm raving, but dang it, it's *that* good. BTW,
anyone know who first recorded the title song? (And no fair lookin' in
your Billboard book, Jon<g>.) Hint: It's the title track of an album that
came out in 1971, and I played another song from that album during the
first hour of Swingin' Doors last week (the hour that's up on the KCMU web
page).--don
