hmm, i'd like to have seen more of Gordon's recent tunes have a good dose of 'attitude', those types of songs by any artist give me a chuckle and was a big part of my initial appeal for Gordon (+Dylan, etc)
some other faves are I'm Not Sayin' and You'll Still Be Needing Me... i don't appreciate lyric changes (even when I know the intentions are well) and really get disturbed by melody changes, thanks for not changing those, Gordon... with that said, oddly enough, I sure love new arrangements, especially stripped down ones
must be tough letting loose and writing tunes when trying to be conscious of children's, relatives, etc perceptions... standup comics must struggle with that too
yeah, it goes both ways for sure, some of my fave recent female performances are by new country gals (sara evans, lisa brokop, wynia, shanonna, lol) doing songs that give us males some of their attitude, no offense taken here... i aint in it for love
