Title: maybe her most passionate
Review: Get this album for no other reason than the following three tracks: Barangrill, Electricity, and Judgement of the Moon and Stars (Ludwig's Tune). The wistfulness of the first two is joyous while the introspection of the latter is equally great. The versions of Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire, For The Roses, Woman of Heart and Mind, and You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio found on her live album Miles of Aisles are actually better than those found on For The Roses. This time around she muddles them in too much production, whereas on Miles they gain better power, clarity, and meaning through the stripped down renditions on solo acoustic guitar. Electricity, though one of her least known tracks, is I feel the crown jewel of this album. Spoiler: Although the woodwind, brass, string interlude on Judgement may seem abrasive at first it perfectly analogizes with the stubborn genius of Beethoven.
