I did listen to it. A couple of times. I even came across an "old" radio promo of "Flaming Red" and listened to that. I still don't get it, and I stand behind the first review. There may be a lot going on here, but I just don't get it. I know, I know, she's a Gnashville darling, critically acclaimed, even Bruce Cockburn called her a "Genius." But I still don't get it. Everyone who hears my opinion on her records says the same thing, "She's just amazing live!" I think this supports my premise; she hasn't been produced properly. Instead of trying to create a "hit" record, she needs someone to just produce "her." Sorry, I just don't hear it. jf Thanks for the comments. I did listen to it. A couple of times.
