I think the writing on this record is Stevie at her best. For example, I think the song Say You Will is very well written and it just makes me smile and get happy. I think Goodbye Baby is heart wrenching and is a prime example of Stevie's immense talent at evoking emotion while maintaining mystery (do we really know for sure what it is about? ).

BUT, it took LB's magnificent production to get this record off of the ground and his songs are brilliant too. It is almost as if LB ia 1 1/2 times more present than La Nicks because LB wrote and produced his songs and Stevie wrote and demo'd her songs and gave them to LB to produce. Even Stevie says LB just sort of takes her demos and runs with them. Sometimes the final product is very close to the demo and sometimes not. In the end, the album is great and the credit goes to LB as a producer that make great material even better
