Rated 8/10

If I didn't detest steel guitar, this would likely be a five star album. So approachable, beautifully simple and straightforward. Powerful voice, relatable topics, great album.

Rated 4/10

Nice melodic tunes, but it's not grabbing me.

Rated 8/10

Reminds me of a much more soulful Joni Mitchell. Can't believe I've never heard this album before, but that's what I'm here for.

Rated 6/10

I get the impression that this album was an important milestone in the glacial evolution of the culture of the music industry. Regardless of how accurate that assumption is, I am sure that this had a positive effect on the "If you can see it, you can be it" scales over the years since this album's release.

Rated 8/10

A great listening experience from a very very talented songwriter.

Rated 8/10

As if Tracy Chapman merged with Joni Mitchell.
Love the funky tracks.

Rated 6/10

Love And Affection is a good track. Its hard for me to put this album in a box 3 tracks in. Join The Boys has a mysterious groove behind it to kick off the back half of the album.
