I have not been listening to a lot of Stevie recently, though I've been thinking about her music a lot. Right now, my top picks would be Rock A Little and Street Angel and Trouble In Shangri La. Whenever I haven't listened to Stevie in a long time, these three albums are the ones I gravitate towards.
I did put Crystal Visions (vinyl) on the stereo this weekend and really enjoyed hearing Planets of the Universe and Sorcerer on vinyl - Planets in particular sounded *amazing*, with little blips and beeps and strums that I hadn't heard on the CD before, most likely because the CD is mastered so loud that the more subtle instrumentation is overwhelmed.
