Another great album from Patty. Rather mournfull in overall tone, but achingly beautiful all around. I think she really showcases her voice on this album. I’m particularly fond of “Burgundy Shoes”, her “Trapeze” duet with Emmylou Harris and some of the more up-tempo tracks after about 3 listens of the whole cd, but I have no doubt that within a week I will not be able to pick a favorite.

Wheeeeee, a new Patty CD!

Thanks for the thread, **CTTDSWHC**. It sent me charging off to B&[N.com](http://N.com). I can’t comment on the CD because I haven’t heard _any_ of it yet. Some things you just buy on faith. 🙂
