Negative Positive
Title: Sophmore Slump
Review: If this CD had been Jane's first, I very likely would have been more impressed. But "Never Never Land" is so nearly flawless, that it's not surprising that "Come Dream With Me" falls flat. She does a stunning version of that tired standard, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Then later she ruins the mood with Bread's maudlin tune, "If" and tackles Joni Mitchell with "A Case of You" changing a word or two while she's at it. She tries to save all this with "Blame it on My Youth", but it's too little, too late. Although her voice is marvelous and I look forward to her next effort, I think the CD starts out very strong in the beginning, starts to unravel in the middle, and becomes unlistenable at the end.
