Well, I forced myself to listen to the whole thing. Yuck. This album will be filed away in the "I bought you but you are awful and I will never play you again; I should just throw you away but I can't since I paid for you" area. Actually, once I did throw one away for it was truly abominable and used the lp as a frisbee, off it went into the air, away and hopefully forgotten, to rot somewhere in a field, where it belonged. I listened to Linda sing "Lush Life." My goodness. What can one say? So terrible, in my opinion. Sickly sweet to the point of nausea. I don't know exactly what the songwriter had in mind when he wrote the tune but I, as I have written before, find RLJ's version perfect. Poignant, heartbreaking, bittersweet, and in it I can feel exactly what I feel she is trying to convey. Mack np: The Cowboys. Hoping Emmitt breaks the record. Can't get network t.v. here.
