Good points. I bought Street Angel the day of release. I was 20 years old. I have always loved the album, even though there are times I didn't appreciate it as much as her other work.

It was certainly a departure for Stevie from the 'norm' and from what fans expected from her, but one thing that I appreciate is how the songs on Street Angel have stood the test of time. They still sound fresh - as opposed to the very dated sounds of Rock A Little (my first, and favorite Stevie album ever) and The Other Side of the Mirror (Stevie's worst album, for me, and the lowest point in her career, for me)
