Permit me to butt in here - I love Sib, but I'm kind
of disappointed in "Hush". Everything sounds too much
the same. I don't *dislike* it, but it's not one of
those that I'm going to play over and over like I do
some. It's good calming-down music - if you've got
little kids, play it for them at naptime. If you've
had a rough day, fill the bath, and listen to this one
- on second thought, don't - you might relax too much
and slip under and drown.
While I'm at it, I'm disappointed with Rickie Lee
Jones' new one too (whatever the hell it's called, I
don't remember). I think I've gone off RLJ - I liked
her 20 years or so ago, but she doesn't do much for me
now (unlike Joan who can do no/very littel wrong
IMHO). RLJ's either got to give up the booze or take
elocution lessons or something. If it weren't for
lyric sheets or the fact she's singing some known
standards, you wouldn't have a clue what she was
saying.
That's 2 negatives, so here's one positive - I love
Paul Simon's new one. It didn't do much for me the
first time I heard it, but it gets better with each listen.
