"If You are a fan of Kate, this is the undoubtedly best album of 2011. If You are not, You will become one after listening carefully. Do not hurry with opinions, this piece will grow inside You after several tries. Then shall stay there forever. And, although hit is not her best, it is still a pro..." [+] Reply

Even with such greats as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen this album..." [+] Reply
