I love this package. To me it demonstates a consistency in style that
spans quite a bit of time without regard to his populartity at any point
in time. In other words, this is what Warren does, and has done take it
or leave it. Unlike many other career spanning double CDs, you don't
feel a need to skip the first five or six songs or the last five or six
songs. Like you might with the Edmunds package or the j. Geils one.
BTW, I saw someone selling a vinyl copy of Stand In The Fire on eBay the
other day.
