Album Notes & Community Reviews

Gathering her most successful solo recordings following her tenure with Gram Parsons, this collection validates her status as a crucial architect of the progressive country movement. The pristine production and her crystalline, emotive vocal interpretations successfully bridged deep country traditionalism with the slick California soft-rock boom.
