Everything!

Customer Review: Good stuff
Everything I had hoped for from the Tones and more. Makes you miss the halcyon days in which this lively and innovative music was made. A great job of packaging too - a really solid collection including the pop stuff and the fun oddities.
Customer Review: One of the greatest ever
As much as I love music and all it has to offer, nothing has ever struck and stuck with me like TOT. I owned the POP album on vinyl, and I played it time and time again. Absolutely brilliant! I adore Love and Rockets, and I think Bauhaus are OK (a bit overrated), but this was a true gem. You absolutely must listen to "Rain". Greatest song ever composed in my opinion. I can't stress enough how wonderful this song is. It opens up with ambient organ and guitar (which is e-bowed, a method used throughout their songs), and then it morphs brilliantly into the singing and structure. Lyrically it is stunning, and I tell you the music will just stick with you. Just a beautiful song!

Not sure whats happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Happy Woman Blues gets. Happy Woman Blues stated simply is one of Lucinda Williamss best CDs to date.

Unfortunately, its not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just cant force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Happy Woman Blues. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Rock isnt your favorite style you still cant help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

If youre a Lucinda Williams fan, or just a fan of Rock music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.

While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 4 - Happy Woman Blues, track 7 - One Night Stand, and track 11 - Sharp Cutting Wings.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Lafayette. Wow!
