oldjembo I've loved Melanie and her music since 1970ish. She's still a wonderful person and a wonderful music maker.

The musical tracks are, of course, great but I really love the dialogue and banter. All her warmth leaps out. Favorite track: dialogue.

Dennis Lee Cleven Melanie in the 70s was a very special era for me. Great songs superbly sung.

melart5269 I've loved this lady and her music since early 1971! Such a beautiful treasure, Melanie's voice takes me back to my youth... for me, a time of discovery and experiences to cherish dearly through later years.This album weaves the same magic anew, and again, I am young. Favorite track: dialogue end part 1.

about

Melanie Nashville, Tennessee

Pieces of a career, scattered by the winds of experience and assembled again by the force of love into the most personal and brilliant moments of her musical journey. Melanie is poised to enlighten new generations about what it means to sing with both passion and eloquence, to write at once with intelligence and emotion, and to inspire through song. Nobody does this better.

Not her more accessible album, to put it mildly. There are some tracks with a hidden beauty, but in most of them, the text is king and music almost disappears. Maybe it should have been released as "Spoken word"? alfayate
