I like it too. It's all Stevie, indulgent, whacky, touching, real. For the first time, really. At the age of 66.

Why the completely different tracklistings?

Oh god no...not a Waddified arrangement of Silver Springs. He's an amazing guitarist and his style was perfect for folks like Warren Zevon etc, but his style has never been a a good match for any of Lindsey's work.

Back to 24k Gold...what she did to Twisted and My Heart is a damn travesty.

What saves it for me is the presence of so many good relics. There’s no way to ruin songs as good as “All the Beautiful Worlds” and “Belle Fleur” and “The Dealer.”

It was my fault and my move and my wine

You cannot ruin a song with a line that good.
