I agree. I love when guys record music for themselves...not for the record company. Have you heard Tony Banks' "Seven" yet? It is a lovely classical album...a true underdog that received fairly good reviews.
Anthony Phillips is the king of the underdog CDs. One of my favorite guitarists!

Because it worked!
(I'll give you my review once it arrives...)
I know I bought mine some years ago, I am positive you'll like and it will grow on you :)

She has a rather unique voice,and way of phrasing,but the songs,lyrics,and musical arrangements are great!
"blossomtime" is my favorite track.

I have only had one listen so far but I agree with many of the comments above...very Chris-influenced! I will weigh in after a few more spins.

Great music, and I still own the original cassette from when it came out...yeah....cassette! I bought the re-mixed CD a year of two ago, and don't quiet like the remix on one song, but forget which one.

Still a great album!

Sunshine, I think.. fortunately the original mix is there too. I don't know how is/was the LP but the CD mastering is a bit trebley. Ears get used to it eventually.
