Pick A Single: May 26

[SisterNightroad]

I have voted among the first people for Mabel Normand because I think that is the song with most overall quality: top arrangement, top lyric expressiveness, top vocals, top energy, top passion, top originality.

I find the production and arrangement cleaner and just... I like it. I mean I don't really have a reason except for my personal taste. I love the other version too, though.

I never really liked the Lindsey duet. Maybe because I expected it to be better? I do like the Enchanted demo and the 24 KG version.

[The Juggler]

Can't believe people are suggesting Hard Advice, that has to be within the Top 10 worst songs she's ever released.

24k version is the best, then the demo on Enchanted then the watered down duet

[SisterNightroad]

You can count me too, among those that prefer the 24 K Gold version of Twisted over the over-produced Lindsey duet and the demo.
When I heard this version for the first time I truly fell in love with the song.

"Blue Water" would make the most sense as a single, especially if released to country stations.

[sorcerer999]

I chose "Watch Chain".

It's EXTREMELY FUN to sing along with.

The harmonies are TIGHT!

The second bridge (with the Eagles-esque guitar riff) is EPIC!!!

It's also extremely RADIO FRIENDLY.

Did I mention it's fun to sing along with?

Any track except Watch Devil or Twisted. I wish she had found better quality songs to put on the deluxe CD. Watch Devil is pure junk, the lyrics, the arrangement, the whole bang-and-bellow package. Twisted is so dull and pointless it induces suicidal ideation. Why oh why do yet another version of this mediocre tune, and ratchet up the mediocrity with grindingly dull production? Why?! Both these miserable ditties are frightful crap that mars an otherwise delicious album.

LOL. Now that you say it, I think suicidal ideation does come to mind when we were talking about Stevie's BTM songs. But Twisted and Watch Devil .... these are two of my favorite tunes on the album. And I didn't expect to love another version of Twisted, but this one is really sultry. I like it as much as the one with Lindsey.

To each his own, I guess. One person's sultry is another person's ghastly.
