I love her! Never heard this album before. Thanks so much RP! Songwriter, rock guitarist, singer, musician. From the Bottom to the TOP!

I was hip with it until she started playing the kazoo.

This reminds me of Eddie Vedder's ukulele. I hope he's next!

Her playing reminds me of Richie Havens. I can see how some folks don't like that style, but hey, different strokes. I like 'em both.

Like most others thought Bill had listed this incorrectly... but no it is Joan, really surprising. For an acoustic number it has amazing drive and energy and I for one love it.

I've been listening to the girl from St.Kitts for 30+ years and she just keeps getting better. The driven, insistent mandolin counterpoints the tender, poignant lyrics - just awesome!  9 > 10 amen. |

I know. Doesn't matter how many times I hear it, I still keep thinking it'd be cool if the band started now... or now... or now... too late. |

The intro to this sounds very similar to "Rise Up", by Eddie Vedder, to me.
