I'm not a huge fan of Rose Garden myself. Her vocal is VERY klonopin here, one-note and droning. I like the music and lyrics okay though. The RAL demo has worse music but more what I would have liked to see from a vocal (i.e. Some emotion).
I like her 1998 Enchanted Tour performances of the song from her energy alone. She seems to really enjoy playing the song and the band creates a great vibe with it.

Agreed on a country album, I actually enjoy most of her country esque songs. I wish she had recorded them all around the time of Bella Donna, those were her PEAK vocals for that style of song.

Lots of others have distinct country influences too (Blue Water, much of Bella Donna and TISGL).
