I am a fan, thanks!

Yea, I've been liking this a lot too. There's a 320k rip of the deluxe edition available here (http://avaxhome.ws/music/country/alternate_country/lw-b_de.html) to try out that sounds a whole lot better than any of the streams or 128K samples floating around. I was a little disappointed when I first heard the low res samples because it sounded so crappy, and it was almost like she had a sock in her mouth, but now I'm loving it in the closer to full range version.

Nice find, though I don't really want the kitchen sink thing. At least I don't think so. Has anyone listened yet to the demos? They are usually just a one-time listen for me, and a lot of the fun with the latter day Lucinda records is the hot guitars.

This really is a good album. I've been on a Lucinda love fest for the last couple days, with Gravel Road and Essence and West and this and a couple others. Maybe too much of a good thing - back to some Girls Against Boys - Venus Luxure No 1 Baby today :)
