IN MY TRIBE is one of those lightning-in-a-bottle records for me. I didn't
like any of their early stuff, though I'd tried, and I found the next album
unbearably slick, and everything after that just never appeared on my
radar. But I'm ticking through the song list in my head, having not heard
the album in probably ten years or more, and other than the lame cover of a
lame Cat Stevens song, I'm thinking, "Oh, I liked that one a lot" to every
tune. Aside from "Don't Talk," I think my favorite would have to be "Verdi
Cries," which reminds me a bit of some of Jane Siberry's work. I'll have
to dig that album out.
