For the real fan

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This CD contains only 4 songs, and 2 of them are different versions of the title song. That song, particularly the first version, is the best song on the CD. It has a very familiar song of hers on it too called Light Above the Trees that was originally released on her first CD, A Drop of Water. 3 out of 4 songs are almost totally her alone playing the acoustic piano. As a devoted fan, I really like it. However, it would not be the first CD I would buy of hers (look at my reviews of her other CDs). On the other hand, the cover material for this CD writes alot about her eagerness to help in finding a cure for breast cancer. Perhaps money obtained from the purchases go to this research. Does anyone out there know this? I could not tell from reading the cover. If it does help the research, then buying the CD would be a great way to both get some of her music and support a good cause."
