As much as the love songs reflect the soul of a person whose heart has been broken, other pieces reflect an optimism hard to resist. Many of her songs are poetic evocations of simple things. In several of her songs she takes the specific and turns it into the universal in an unforced manner. There is only one track that does not meet the high standards of the rest of the album. The music is clear, thanks to the fine production work by Vicky and Bob Read.
