'Rooms On Fire" is a great song (first Stevie song I eveer heard; always loved it). "Whole Lotta Trouble" is strong too. But TBH the whole rationale for her solo career ("I write too many songs") was no longer operative after Wild Heart. You can't say you write so much you need a solo career to accomodate your output while at the same time asking people for songs.

I take Klonopin and some days have to take a lot of it. At a certain dosage it kills alertness to the point where you can't do anything productive, and it takes a lot of caffeine to counterbalance its effects.
Its funny because if you listen to this interview she says she could have given Rupert 200 songs. She gave him far less but from the supposed giant stash, he sorted it down to 27. From there he selected the ones for the album.
But here is the kicker. There are no old songs from Stevie except for Ooh My Love. They are fairly recently written or they are someone else's songs. This tells me she must of handled him some crappy demos.
