I really like the new album a lot, but it took some time for me to get my head around the new direction. I always liked the ying/yang of Paula's albums of white hot fury mixed with introspective intimacy. For this album, it's a focused adult contemporary album of quiet passion. After all the BS that she went through over the past 7+ years, I would have expected a much more aggressive sound like TIGER/THROWING STONES. But when I took the album on its own terms without the baggage, I found I enjoyed it much more than the other frat jazz darlings Michael Buble and Norah Jones. The arrangments are gorgeous and I don't think she has ever been in better voice. The lyrics also are much more focused and universal than AMEN. I was really moved by LONELYTOWN and IN OUR DREAMS especially, but the majority of songs on the album seemed to return to a confessional or storytelling mode instead of trying to preach or try too hard to get a message across. Its got a mature subtlety that is missing from music these days. I'm not trying to convince you to like it more than you do, but I just found from my own experience that I liked it better if I thought of it as a release from a new artist than I did A nice guy named RODRIGO FROM BRAZIL has posted some mp3s from her live performance at NPR which was stunning. I heard a poor recording of the new COWBOYS and LOVED it.

Naturally she's not coming anywhere near me, oh well. Not crazy about pairing her with Mandy Moore, even though it will probably intoduce her to lots of potential new fans, mostly because (I'm assuming) she will be the opening act. That just ain't right, an artist of her stature. Well, that's what happens when you're out of the general public's eye for too long. It is interesting to note that she'll be playing at both the Fillmore West and the Fillmore East, nka Fillmore New York At Irving Plaza, whatever that really is. Anyone know? They're getting some good people - Lucinda Williams, Brandi Carlile, The Ditty Bops. Geez I miss the northeast and its abundance of musical offerings ... sigh ... Keep the faith, y'all!
