Title: A mature and versatile songwriter struts her stuff
Product review: I am a huge Maria McKee fan (loved her since her Lone Justice days) and this is my favorite of her albums. Admittedly, it took a few listens for me to start loving this one. It does represent a departure from her earlier work. Much of the album shows what I think must be a strong Bowie-Ziggy Stardust influence--one not audible on earlier albums. The songs here are gut-wrenching and thought provoking. The lyrics are amazing--especially on "Absolutely Barking Stars" and "Smarter." This is pure guts and I applaud Maria for making this album.
