As a long time fan of live shows, and a new fan (5 years+) of her recordings, I have to hail this record as yet another stunning achievement by Susan Werner. The recording was different from other albums in a raw way, but it did not detract from the lyrical and instrumental prowess she exhudes. " Misery and Happiness" I had first heard in concert, and it doesn't disappoint me here. "shades of grey" is another that converts to disc well also. I can put this in the player, and let it go from start to finish, which is really something to say in a world where records are sold on a one-hit basis and forgotten.While I still harbour favourites from other recordings, this is a timeless addition to my collection. Thanks Susan!
