I have Dreamland and her new one, as well. Rummy, we must be listening to different cds. Her first one was a very good recording. Not pristine, but quite good. Intimate and pretty natural. Careless Love, (the performance/voice) is fabulous, but the recording is compressed and lower in quality to Dreamland. Maybe your Dreamland was a funky one. hey, whatever floats your boat. I would love to hear Careless Love rerecorded and opened up a bit, sound wise...peace, warren
