Just about every cut is my one of my favs.--"Boulders to Birmingham"-Then we have "Tulsa Queen" off q/moon 10-cent town.--That is my pick;what's yours?

If you can play a DVDA I highly recommend "Producer's Cut", produced and arranged by Brian Ahern, her former husband. (Actually you can also play this disc on a DVDV player). It includes all her best songs over many years. The final cut "Old Rugged Cross" is a duet with Johnny Cash, an informal recording that Ahern dug out of a closet somewhere, and which was never before issued. It is haunting. Included on this disc is a video interview with Ahern where he discusses in technical detail how and why the remix for multichannel was done.
Don_s...Do you have the DVDA version, and played back on a good MC system? I can't understand your criticism of the song selection as it includes many of her most popular cuts. Since you can't stand to listen to the disc, why don't you send it off to Warrenh? Seriously.
One of the most effective 2-channel LPs played back in a matrix multichannel setup is Judy Collins, Amazing Grace. She sings in a church, with lots of good ambience, and then the congregation joins in all around and behind you. Spooky. At the end, as the ambience dies away, you can hear people putting their hymn books away in the pews behind you. I bought the CD, and was greatly disappointed. They minimized the ambience, and the hymn book noises were completely cut off.
