This is an amazing, wonderful SACD which easily tops everything else I have in terms of sonics. I realize now that Karens voice was masterful and this certainly adds to the disc tremendously but I can't think of anything I have that sounds so crisp, clean, and real. OK, the synthesizer is an issue ... more |

Kind of a crossover country pop. Thoughtful lyrics. Good melodies. Very good mix and sonics. What more could you ask for. Nice for a change. Also, Mary has a beautiful and distintive voice. Gets a little meloncholy sometimes but not a deal breaker. I give it two thumbs up. |

Its a great album but what poor job making an SACD of it. I'm so sorry that I can't recommend this as I'm a big fan. I couldn't wait to get home and listen and it was a real disappointment. I prefer the RB far and away. Not recommended unless rereleased and remixed in a way that the material ... more |

What bottom end and how beautiful in total. This has got to be one of the all time great SACDs of its genre and I thank the good people on this site who gave me a hint of its greatness or I would have surely passed it up.
Just one anecdote. Amorena was a favorite of mine in High School '72. So I ... more |

She has such a wonderful voice and I would love to hear her sing some things that have an upbeat tempo and compositon that has some enjoyment and happy content.
I agree that the tempo is too slow and add that the emotional content is too unhappy for me.
I can't stress how much better this disc ... more |

| I have to revise my first discussion. It really is a poor mix and the RB CD is better by a long shot.
I've been comparing the two side by side and as much as I was rooting for the SACD there is not way I could recommend it.
Its a great disc and should be enjoyed fully...thats RB. Hopefully a new release will be issued. ... more |

| I brought up a new thread recently having to do with the TRL Sony CE 595 Mod. First I've put about four hundred hours break in into the unit which Paul Wetzel of TRL says is only part of the five hundred required.
Last night on the first playing of Tumbleweed Connection, I blurted out the words, I've never heard music like that before. It was a ... more |

| I've owned the Sony CE595 for a couple of months and have found it to be a very enjoyable addition to my system.
I read rave reviews about the Tube Research Labs modifications so I sprung for the $750.00 and just got it back yesterday. It sounds better but the widely held belief, including the owner of TRL is that it requires about three weeks of ... more |

| I can see that, but since I'm new to Jazz and SACD, I feel like a kid in a candy store and a fifty dollar bill. My wife who has much more musical experience than I has a similar nonplussed opinion about these recordings. Thankfully I can still enjoy. ... more |
