The BIGGEST change (aside from becoming a Stevie Fan in the first place) happened in August 1988 in Houston, when I went to a record show on a Sunday afternoon. Remember record shows??? We had them every month almost in Texas back then.

I only had Almanac as my only taste of unreleased Stevie (aside from several live bootleg LPs). Well, I FREAKED OUT at the one dealer who had this 3-LP set with the Rhiannon painting on the front and various Stevie photos on the back ~ I mean, I Queened out in a Stevie-gasm!!!! WHAT the HELL were ALL of these titles????

"Castaway"? "Forest of The Black Roses"?? "If You Ever Did Believe"??? What the HELL??!?!?!?!!

The second I got home North of Houston, I put the records on (these were the black vinyl with the better sound; I got the coloured vinyl a little later). OMFG!!!!!!!!!!

Amidst amazing things like the "Leather and Lace" demo, the live '77 "Silver Springs" and the TWO piano demos of "Rhiannon", there was ONE UNCREDITED SONG...

Of course, with my destiny, it was the WORST quality song on all 3 records, on top of not being listed on the sleeve.

However... it was the song that changed my life...

I could NOT get that song out of my head! As amazed as I was by these other wonderful unreleased songs, this song which the bootleggers did not even know the name of was the one that captivated my imagination.

In 1994, I would finally learn the song's name and get better sounding quality versions.

The piano, Stevie's voice, the WEIRD changing tempo!!! The ambiguous lyrics, the stop/start hallmark of Stevie's trademark songs, the fragileness and fierceness in her voice...

The version from Uncirculated Rumours, the one that changed my life, was recorded in my later home town, Dallas. For The Wild Heart...

That song, of course, is "Julia"...

I love Julia. How did it change you?
