[Travis]

Stand Back
Ooh My Love
Twisted (with Lindsey)
Sister Honey
Planets Of The Universe (Extended Version)
Violet and Blue
How Still My Love
If Anyone Falls
Blue Denim
Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You

Notes: Stand Back is the song/video that got me into Stevie so I will forever be devoted to Stand Back. Ooh My Love (fabulous). Twisted (this song came into my life at a time I needed it – truly a beautiful song). Sister Honey (one of the most fun and upbeat tracks from Stevie and one that is underrated by fans). Planets Of The Universe (Stevie’s Go Your Own Way – the full album version is killer). Violet and Blue (love the grittiness of the song – one of Stevie’s best vocals). How Still My Love (probably the closest song to R&B that Stevie has done – love it). If Anyone Falls (another song that I feel has some grit behind it – one of her best singles). Blue Denim (The Stevie of old returns on this track – the live version from Jay Leno is the best version I’ve heard). Has Anyone Ever … (I love the cosmic ending – one of her most heartfelt songs).

Honorable mentions:
Desert Angel (Beautiful music and passionate vocals – another underrated song)
Think About It (Inspirational and positive)
Sorcerer (It took a while for me to get into the TISL version since I love the Marilyn Martin version so much (like most of us) but I’ve come to love it very much).
