Glad to hear there are at least a few fans out here! I think she is doing ok, from what I hear through the grapevine.....as to this most recent disk: I think it sounds great-both her and the recording quality. I think she is probably eager to record the newer material, especially since there was such a large gap in time betweeen "Sweet Old World" and "Car Wheels"...something like five or six years, during which time she was touring and performing the same songs over and over. I think there is at least one older song on the new disk: "Pineola." I saw her first in 1991 in a small club in Boston and many times since and I highly recommend checking her out live...she is a powerful, no bullshit performer.
