I went with TFFT. Most uninspried vocal ever! She just drones on and on and the Dixie Chick doesn't help matters at all.

If this cd had like 5 songs removed it would have been much much better. I also think that there were too many producers and musicians involved so their is so consistancy. I so wish she had hired the guy who produced Love Is for the entire album.

TFFT.


I don't know about you guys, but I am very fond of the last 5 or so songs. The slower love songs on this disc.... I love!!!

[vermicious knid]

My vote is for Love Changes. It is about as generic as its title.

[Chrislit18]

Too Far from Texas.

just...no.

I like most of the songs on this disc though

[agnes121275]

I voted for TFFT... only because I am literally repulsed by Natalie Maines... and the way her and the rest of the Dixie Ho's butchered Landslide (Cringe.)

This is gonna be a tough one for me because I literally love every one of these songs!

I think this was her best album since Bella Donna... and the tour was fabulous as well!!

[strandinthewind]

That Made Me Stronger

Just awful.

Agreed.

[fleetwoodtrick]

Fall From Grace.

She overplays it at shows, and I just can't get attached.

I love TFFT, though! Probably cuz Sandy Stewart wrote it.

[galestreet]

TFFT gets my vote, I don't think it should have been on the cd, it doesn't make sense, its not totally rock or country, it stays in the swampy areas.

Really? Man I thought this tour was horrible. She cleary did not want to be on stage. First it was getting sick, she cxled several shows, then it was 9/11 and to me she looked scared on stage and sounded terrible.

Waddy's guitar playing stomped all over her voice I believe they jacked up the volume on it so as to drown out her voice.

^^^

I saw her at Jones Beach and she was okay. I saw her the next night at the PNC Pavillion and she was off her game. Then, she canceled a few shows because she was sick. Then, in Atlanta, she was not very good.

I think she was sick for much of the tour. Plus, she gained what seemed like 30 pounds as the tour went on and wound up looking light a sausage in too tight a casing.

Who knows, maybe the menopause was beginning.

And, I laud her for putting so many TISL songs in the set in place of standards, like Landslide. But, her pipes were just not there for much of it.

I went with Too Far from Texas. I actually think it's a good song, but Stevie's vocal ruins it. I remember when I bought this CD; I loved the first four songs, and then TFFT came on, and I was like - what the hell is that!? I actually like Natalie Maines and the Dixie Chicks quite a bit. If only Natalie had been singing on it by herself, it would've been great, but that wouldn't have made much sense, it being Stevie's album and all.

I may go back and listen to this CD. My first impression of it was that the first four songs were great, and the rest of the album was very hit-or-miss. Certainly a step up from Street Angel (not that that's saying a whole lot).

[Hawkeye]

Everyday, with so many awseome either unique or rocking Stevie penned songs why was this ****ing bland piece of shot the first single and song she was performing the first month the album was out. That just baffles me.

TISL, Fall From Grace (she did it at the blockbuster awards and that got me 100 times more pumped for the album then i already was this should've been done on letterman, rosie, a video shouldve been made), Bombay Saphires, Love Changes, Sorcerer (was a single a single way too late after she was sick) Heh even Too Far From Texas while not personally a favorite mine, in fact I always skip it, at least it has a personality. it's a country tune.

So clearly my vote is for Everyday.

Not a favorite of mine by a longshot but you can't consider Love Changes more generic then Everyday. At least Love Changes has that funky caribean feel to it and that echoy vocals.
