Negative Positive
Title: An instant classic
Review: I am surprised at the narrow-mindedness of the reviewers who rated this album poorly. With no previous exposure to Lynne, I bought this album based on a couple of reviews and having heard Life is Bad on the radio. I LOVE it. Yes, one can hear Raitt, Crowe, Cline, Springfield and others through these songs, but Lynne adds her own unique imprint to each one, and the accompaniment is superb. And to top it off, she wrote these songs; there's not a dud in the bunch. To those who were disappointed that Lynne has diverged from her previous country genre,I say, expand your horizons, try listening to some of Lynne's obvious influences and appreciate this CD for the incredibly enjoyable production that it is, rather than complaining about what it isn't. My favorite artists are those who draw from other genres and make the influences on their music clear, because that leads me to discover music that I have never listened to before. Keep it up, Shelby.
