wow, yeah, there's the image (one that i prefer to see on radio) and then there's that voice and delivery, spectacular, imo

odd, with so many artists and compostions to choose from that there are multiple selections from a small handful of writers

if these selections are supposed to be hymn-ish (not sure what the definition of that is) then i could have only recommended the down-tempo version of The Way I feel (vs, uptempo one covered wonderfully by Cowboy Junkies) or perhaps Looking at the Rain or Too Late for Praying... i think she could do something powerful and moving with those, but all hindsight now... i won't be buying this

as a slight aside, again, just imo, i think we're fortunate that the Cryin' duet was captured before we lost Orbison (actually, the video doesn't bother me at all but i prefer to listen to this recording with eyes closed as those voices soar where i believe few have flown...Gordon's been there too )
