THANK YOU!!!! I'm a fan of Rickie Lee's as well, but I HATE the new album! She just can't "do" covers!!! By trying to do something "new" or "fresh", she just ends up murdering the song!! I'm GLAD she didn't do anything by Stevie....that would have REALLY upset me!!
(On the flipside, I've loved the two previous albums, particularly BALM...!).
