Beautiful . . . but lacking
I give this album 5 stars because I think what's there deserves them. I do wonder, however, at the choices that were made--which songs to put in, which to leave out. I suppose the most satisfying thing would be to have another album made with more of JRB's songs--particularly from Songs and L5Y. I love Parade, but it's not as "singable." In any event, don't let the lack of some great songs keep you from buying this album. The tracks are perfect to sing to--and I'm quite picky! My faves: Stars and the Moon, Climbing Uphill, The Next Ten Minutes, If I Didn't Believe in You--oh, scratch it all! They're all brilliant! BUY IT!
