Title: UNEVEN ATTEMPT TO BE "DIFFERENT" JUST FEELS LIKE A JUMBLE
Review: I hate to admit it, but after all the anticipation I found the new CD disappointing. There are definitely highlights, especially the new version of "Quittin' Time." But it seems to me that Chapin couldn't decide whether to do an album of live tracks, lesser-known songs or copies of her older hits -- so instead she did a little of each. That just makes the collection come off as schizophrenic. Amid the interesting new material, the familiar versions of songs like "Passionate Kisses" and "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" feel flat and boring, without any particular reason to be on the album. I applaud Chapin's desire to do a "different" sort of greatest hits album, but I wish she'd been consistent in giving her fans material they don't already own or hear on the radio every day.
