If someone thinks the arrangements on FR are average it does NOT make them ignorant. I personally was not too crazy about many of the arrangements on FR either (especially the big cymbol flourish in Peter Pan, which is otherwise a beautiful song), and that is MY opinion. It's all fine for everyone to talk about what they feel is good or bad about anything, but let's not call names or label people because we disagree, everyone, ok? FINALS ARE OVER!!! WHEEE!!!

The songs I heard of the radio that blew me always was the version of "Christina" from FR. Immediately, I went out and bought it and then practically melted the plastic polymer (what *are* CDs made of?) by playing it over and over and over. I have to admit that my personal reaction to the CD was that: 1) This women's voice is HEAVEN! 2) WOW! What an *amazing* range of material! 3) Hmmmm...some of the background music is ummm..errr...ummm well, (Let's say that I just didn't like some of it, including the screeching guitars and the odd sort of pensive, pendulum-like thing in "Go Now") So I guess MHO is that Jay Joyce really helped show off the full spectrum of her talents and her voice on FR; however, I have to agree with Dave's comments about the background music -- "too much band" detracted rather than added to the CD. Patty has an amazing marriage with her guitar, even if her technical abilites aren't among the greatest I've ever seen, and I think this is something that should always be highlighted. Her playing is very sensual and exciting, and when you hear it with her voice it is like having.....hmmmmm peanut butter and chocolate in your mouth at the same time (YUM!!). That said, I must also add that I felt the same way about the background music even when I knew *nothing* of her guitar playing. On some of the songs in FR, the musical "accoutrements" just "felt" like a dress with too many bows.

LWG it is as real as it gets. I would like to hear a CD that comes as close to ones soul as this disc. I've been listening to music a long long time...there is not many that come to mind.

You can't sing the lyrics w/o emotion. Try singing Change, and watch your facial expressions and body movement "tells ya how now things are gonna be a little different..." Makes you feel strong, makes you feel good. You completely understand what she's saying and you feel like saying it yourself, the same way she does. Why? Because it feels goods. Patty's awesome!

I just need to say some things: I think Patty is an excellent guitarist. It didn't strike me until I got the rarities. "Cain" is a great example: it took me about 3 hours to learn that song! It didn't hit me (i guess i'm too blonde...) that it's in a whacked out tuning 'til the first hour was up! Then she uses this extremely cool beat with her wrist on the guitar! She's awesome! "I write the book" too....that's another one. It's the beat and HOW she plays that really pulls me in. And that VOICE. She's so unique in all she does. I also, believe, that Jay Joyce is a very brilliant man, as well as many other producers. I'm with Dave: if Patty chooses to go that route and lead her music in that direction, so be it. She'll ALWAYS be a fabulous musician - no matter what she wants to do. She's the best. I love the purity of "LWG", but yet the musicianship, quality and rawness (if that's even a word) of "FR." It seems i'm always finding something new with Patty - and it just keeps getting better and better. Anyway.....i just needed to say that....I'll shut up about that..... Now, about me: I don't wanna talk too much about this, but.....I must at LEAST say thanks to Dave for being so polite in his sweet review. I do apprecaite it. I'm glad he noticed I (eh hem) "change" Patty's songs a bit. IF anyone one is interested, (i wish i had a website at the moment...) I guess you can email me and I could make sure you get a copy of my demo - if you're interested. I have my weird version of "Poor Man's House" on it - don't worry I gave Patty credit! My album's not out yet otherwise I'd promote that.....jeez I hope I don't get in trouble for writing off-topic! And Sherie: if you want my schedule, I can get it to you, I just kinda need you're email address. Yeah, I do about 8 songs from "LWG" and 6-7 from "FR." Maybe you might just like my show.....hhmm..... Anyway, I'm sorry this is so long, and I'm sorry I talked about myself, but it would be rude if I didn't write back and say thanks to Dave. Okay, I'm done now....BYE! ......((*.*)).......................DARCIE..............
