I'm not sure what her fascination with Twisted is all about. It also was on Enchanted because she thought no one heard it on the movie sound track. But I wonder what it will sound like as a ballad.

I don't think they listed the "guest stars." Vanessa Carlton isn't listed either, and I'm pretty sure you can hear her singing backing vocals on Carousel.

I think this UNCUT review is as good a review as an album of never-quite-made-it-for-one-reason-or-another songs as you can get. Honestly, I hope all the reviews are as good.

I've never been a big fan of Twisted. Maybe I'll have a change of heart hearing it as a ballad.
Also I wish I had ordered the vinyl of 24 Karat Gold since it drops next week. They've closed the Tower store here in Nashville, so it looks like I'll be hitting up another store! |

Off Topic (sorry) ~ Rod, I worked at that VERY Tower (off West End in Nashville) for the last 6 years of its existence. BEST...JOB...EVER!!! If it were still open, I'd still be working there...and we would've sold the "24 Karat Gold" vinyl at Midnight on Tuesday morning, like we did with ALL new releases every week. No one does that anymore. |

It's Okay
I'm a huge Stevie fan...and I have to admit this album is OK. There are some great moments like "Lady", "The Dealer", and "Mabel Normand". However, there are some stinkers, or at the very least, some that do not capture the magic of the original demos. You can hear the fact this album was recoreded in only 15 days. In my opinion, that is NOTHING to brag about. "Blue Water" does not hold a candle to the beautiful demo version and the recording for "All The Beautiful Worlds" just sounds lazy. My favorite parts were simply omitted from the end of the songs cadence. Finally, "If You Were My Love" is in the key of HORRID. What key is it in exactly why did they choose it. At this point, I am not sure Stevie streaming this album for free on Amazon.com was a good idea. Yesterday I was so excited to buy it and now, it's like a household chore I have to do. Of course I will buy it to support my girl, but STEVIE...shame on you.

Very interesting to hear your views. I respectfully disagree - far from shame, I would say bravo for creating one of the finest solo albums of her career - on par with her first three albums, and better than anything she's done since the mid-1980s.

I think this record quickly with minimal production is the best formula for Stevie. The magic of her music isn't lost in syrupy production, electronic/synthetic noise, and endless overdubs. Despite that, there's still an atmosphere to these songs. I'd say it's actually because of the lack of clutter that these songs have atmosphere. I still can't rank this album compared to her others, though. I think part of it might be because this is almost more of a compilation than an album to me.

If I had only listened to the standard tracklisting, I may agree that this is more of a compilation album. But listening to the songs as sequenced on the Deluxe album, and as organized on vinyl, with four distinct sides, this album feels more cohesive than anything she's done in a long time. It has a clear arc, and tells a story, in my view. Really impressed that she pulled this off. |
