Although I find this to be the premiere showcase for a supremely underrated singer-songwriter, three tracks elevate it to near-greatness.  They are the Donald Fagen penned "Big Noise, New York," which sounds for all the world like a Steely Dan song sung by a female (with Fagen on backup vocals); the oft-mentioned heartfelt cover of Todd Rundgren's ultimate breakup song "Pretending To Care;" and my personal favorite, "The Hunter," which, with its string quartet accompaniment, pristine vocal and oddly playful lyrics combine to make one of the most perfect songs I've ever heard.  Warnes has been unjustly maligned and relegated to "movie title song singer" status, but this album proves that she is (and always has been) an artist worthy of standing alongside greats like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell.  A wonderful, wonderful CD.
