Ooohh that's a toughie. I'm most keen on her classic period - from Don't Cry Now to Simple Dreams. They're all pretty solid but right now I keepo coming back to Prisoner In Disguise, if only for Hey Mister, That's Me Up On The Jokebox and especially You Tell Me That I'm Falling Down (LOVE that one_. Then again, Hasten Down The Wind has Lose Again.... see too many to pick!]

For more recent Linda albums you should check out We Ran (1998) and her beautiful collaborative album with Emmylou Harris - Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions.

I love the first Lone Justic album (the second is only ok) and yes, Maria McKee is a great, great album - especially This Property Is Condemned and Drinkin' In My Sunday Dress.
