Who do you think played on it?

OMG, I looked at the nasty ass food there once and it was all out of date. And it was all the funky stuff that the big name brands tried to push but failed miserably at selling. Reminded me of a discount grocery store my grandmother used to go to called The Boston Barn. 'Twas not a barn but an old, dilapidated supermarket where they sold twenty snack size bags of chips for one dollar because they were past the expiration dates on the bags.

RTTG was lowered a step, but I liked it live. If she did that last section of EFO in the same key live I would eat my shorts. And yours.

I thought only one recording surfaced; just the Columbus show and not the full rehearsal?

I'm convinced that the reason it was dropped was because it would have been too taxing on her voice to sing it every night.

I love the little break towards the end (the "don't you know" part). It could have been an awesome video or single and a remix would have been amazing. I hate that it was just left on the CD. I really like it and wish it had gotten more attention.

EFO has always been one of my favorite songs on the album, because it just comes right out and kicks your ass, as opposed to "Say You Will," which is a nice enough song, but one that very quickly and easily fades into the background as you stroll the aisles of your favorite pharmacy.

Who knows why they didn't at least do it live. Probably too exciting for Stevie. Wouldn't want her to actually break a sweat up there or rock out at all.

She could make it all better if she did it with the orchestra, though...

Also some of her best lyrics in years IMO:

"When love starts out in the darkness
It doesn't do well in the light
Affairs of the heart
That start out in the dark
Usually stay with the night"

Rick Nowels wrote the music. Two guys by the names of Gary Nicholson and Ray Kennedy wrote the music for Running Through the Garden, too.

I think it was more a function of her perception of poor audience reception. I think she can within reason sing anything anyway she wants and she will be okay. I think she just plays if way safe because she has had huge vocal trouble in the past, she is in her late 50's, etc.

Yep Rick Nowles, that's what I thought. Too bad when the music for one of the best songs on the album wasn't written by the band. I don't know why that bothers me. I guess when I really love a Stevie song I always hope it's her original composition.

I see what you're saying, but I also totally love how the work of two minds comes together to form such an awesome song. I couldn't imagine either without the other.

It's incredibly cheap. I almost bought a whole cart of dish detergent the last time I was there because it was two for a dollar and they were the big 25 ounce bottles with bleach. Cool ****.

The "strings" on the song sound more like a synthesizer to me. But I love that part and think it would be great with an orchestra in Australia.

Does anybody know if Stevie wrote Cat House Blues. I love that song and want it to be her's.
