Vorneweg: partly really strong songs and the voice is still great - with Gänsehautfeeling..Aber anyone could Mrs. Etheridge to say that less is more. The plate is mercilessly produced - of everything too much: slapping the 80-year drums, percussion, synthesizer ect. ect ... These miserable sound: the sound is not detached from the boxes depends squeezed in between (almost as mono), no space, no signal depth, no space between individual instruments that can distinguish hardly - to high compression, so all identical ... After 10 minutes I sound of this disc is on the mind, the whole panel I can not listen to the piece. What could have made T-Bone Burnett and Rick Rubin from the song material! So perhaps may be a commercial success (which I doubt, however) - an artistic, it is by no means!
