Different but very good
I basically bought this because I've been getting really into the music of both Linda and Emmylou - the Trio albums, of course, were great, and I wanted to see what happened when you took Dolly Parton out of the mix. The result is far less country than you might expect, still fairly firmly rooted there but very influenced by rock and folk as well. A couple of the songs aren't up to the general standard (I'd pick out "He Was Mine" and "Valerie") but overall the production and performances are very consistent for an album which I'm fairly sure was recorded in bits and pieces. The interesting thing is how different the two women's voices are; if you're expecting them to sound like they did on "Boulder to Birmingham" and "Desperado", think again. Even compared to the first "Trio" album (a full 12 years earlier) Harris's voice is far more gritty and mature than ever, while Ronstadt's has a heavier vibrato and a slightly different timbre. They wisely complement their new sounds with a selection of more mature songs and a production which, as has been said elsewhere, reflects the open desert spaces around Tucson. In short, another excellent album from two great talents, and as godo as anything they've done on their own in years.

Her best...
I love Bonnie Raitt, and this is her at her peak. Great songs, great performance...what else can you say? At worst, it's samey, but given it's all good that's hardly a problem. And listening to albums like this, as with Linda Ronstadt and Fleetwood Mac, you can see how much music today is descended from Raitt and co. Decided to buy it because you almost never see albums this good this cheap!
