After its release, despite my previous obsession with her and FM, I ignored Stevie and FM until years later.

But at this stage in my life I would be happy for any new music from her and FM, really.

OMFG.

Am I REALLY about to $tevie fanboy??? BD is her only masterpiece!!! I love every song on it, AND the production. The country influence always reminded me more of The Eagles than TP, but I love the entire album.

Too bad she couldn't keep up that level of work, and ended up pushing out clunkers like OSOTM.

Bella Donna is in my all time top 20 albums. Maybe top 10!
