Title: This is rare gem. Lanois is a genius
Product review: I received this CD as a gift from my ex-boyfriend brought it back for me from the New Orleans Jazz festival a few years ago. When I first listened to it, the sound sort of threw me off and I didn't think I liked it. A few weeks later we went to see him live. Lanois was mesmerising-magical. Unfortunately I had already traded the CD back to my boyfriend for some cheezy German rap CD I had purchased for him. What a mistake! I ended up rebuying Winona and listening to it enormously. It's remarkable. I think the only reason I didn't appreciate it right off was based on the dilution of bad music exposure which resulted in a confused reaction to true brilliance. Just like Vermeer is an artist's artist I understand why Lanois produces for U2. This record is phenomenal.
