Heck, I even dig "Lead Balloon" and welcome the uptempo sound on a Joni record. Harlem In Havan is just an amazing song and all the 'relationship' songs are typical Joni (that's a good thing). Another reason this one is so dear to me is that it came out in the fall of '98, about a year or so after I joined this group. It was SO COOL to anticipate it, talk about, hear snippets of it, all that. When it came out, our local paper featured an article about Joni, the album, and had a photo. Wally Breese asked me for a copy which I was happy to send. And of course I saw her and met her the same year. Wow. I bought 3 copies of the CD; 1 for me, 1 for my sister, and 1 for a co-worker that was going through a rough patch.

It projected a message to me that helped pull me out of a dark part of my life and find a new facelift. She also did 'Crazy Cries of Love' which at that point was simply 'Love's Cries'. 'No paper thin walls, no folks above, no-one else can hear love's cries'. A couple of wonderful monologues in that show as well. Unlike a lot of our members, I loved 'Taming the Tiger' from the first listen. It has a soothing quality to it, for me, anyway. I'm one of the few who liked the sound of the guitar that Joni programmed the VG-8 to produce throughout most of the recording. 'Stay in Touch' and 'Love Puts on a New Face' are such beautiful songs. Joni in her maturity almost sounding like she had found some contentment at last.
