Well, from what I hear so far, Joni is in better voice on T'log than other recent work, certainly better than BSN. Of course the voice isn't what is was, but I'm enjoying the vast majority of this new stuff (her vocals on YDFT and Borderline are particularly good). As for orchestration, I hear more subtlety on this album than on BSN and I don't find it "overblown" in general. I am however having trouble digesting the seemingly awkward arrangement of Hejira, but will need to hear it on a real stereo rather than my old computer. The arrangement on Chinese Cafe sounds pretty cheesy, and that is the biggest miss I've heard so far. Sorry to deconstruct it (I know some of you can't stand that), but I have such a > strong connection and response to Joni's work that I have to share it > somewhere. > > Bryan
