Title: only for diehards...unfortunately I'm one
Review: You know a songwriter is in trouble when they recycle their own songs. That is especially true when that song was on the previous release as "Life is Sweet" is here. Good gosh, if you're gonna make me wait seven years, write a new song. To double my despair, that's the best song on the cd. The remainder are basically Broadway show tunes. I was able to stay with Maria through her stylistic changes low these many years, but I didn't like what I heard when I put this disc on, and still don't. I'm looking forward to her next move in, hopefully, yet another direction. I hope it doesn't take until 2010 - I don't know if I can make it that long with this disappointment.
Is the review positive or negative?
