Each is a wonderful piece of work. Thankfully Chris did not embrace the synth pop sounds of the mid 80s which is why her album holds up. I love the fact that she worked with the same drummer and bass player on ITM as on her 1984 album

she didn't write all the songs on ITM herself either. She cowrote most of the songs-- with people like George Hawkins, her nephew Dan Perfect, her ex Eddy Quintela, Robbie Patton is even in the mix along with Billy Burnette. Some songs were written only by Dan Perfect. She's only got 1 solo writing credit on the whole thing (You Are).
