Amanda: So apparently many a hissy fit was thrown during the making of the album. For this reason I didn't think I would like it because if there were that many disagreements between Dusty and the studios, there were probably major issues. I really enjoyed it though. I forget how unique and comforting Dusty's voice was. "Son of A Preacher Man" was actually featured in a great movie, Pulp Fiction.
I am having a long and frustrating day but this was certainly a bright spot.
RATING: 5/5
Only on three or four tracks does Dusty sound like she's in Memphis. But those are great tracks. The rest is hit and miss. The string arrangements are over-bearing and tacky at times, but there are a lot of good songs and her singing is really interesting (though not such a strong voice at this point). It's about half a great album.
