a perfect 10 no skips. first cassette tape I ever bought. then the first cd I bought. still play it in my car all the time. so many moments, lines, and phrases from this album form my consciousness. I love how she pronounces words and letters, like how does anyone sing like this? it's wild. and her lyrics! matched only by Joni Mitchell, Fiona Apple, Lucinda Williams, and Joanna Newsom.
