She was disillusioned by the response to TISL because it was touted as her "Santana-style comeback". That's why she teamed up with so many current artists. The problem was the stupid record co. choice for singles and vids. I think the public was expecting rocking Stevie after the Dance, but they issued the insipid , bland "Everyday" as the first single. The song is OK, but Santana's comeback featured the uber-hot (at the time) Rob Thomas... Her first single featured NONE of the current artists who collaborated with her. FFG, PotU, or even TFFTx would have been better leadout singles... (I know everyone here hates TffT, but it was at the height of Dixie Chick popularity AND the cusp of Country's rise)
The record could have coasted for months on the guest star singles.. EXCLUDING Sorcerer, because Sheryl's production was amateurish
