I've had this cd a long time but I never play it, so I thought I'd find out why. Katie is a very capable player, but she has an addiction to drama in her playing that keeps me on edge when I listen. That other people say her playing is soothing and relaxing totally mystifies me. This cd is in no way soothing or relaxing. It makes me feel the same as when I've had too much coffee.Listen to the samples at allmusic.com for your free shot of aural caffeine.
