It's dedicated to her mother who was ill (it's unclear from the liner notes whether she's passed on or not) and it's just gorgeous. Of course, Yungchen's voice is as stunning as always, but somehow the interplay between her voice and the instrumentation works better for me on this album than on her previous ones. Joy Askew and Annie Lennox sing on 2 tracks (1 each) which are well done, not the highlight of the album, but they fit in well. Anyway, fans will definitely wanto check this out, and for people unfamiliar with this amazing singer, this is as good a place as any to start. Sadly, it is a copy-protected disc, as is everything on Real World Records these days, so you might want to get it from iTunes or another online source.

Turn off autorun on all your drives. 2. Remove any existing resident copy protection software on your machine. Google is your friend..."remove mediamax" takes care of one of them. 3. Use EAC to rip your CDs, including the ones that are copy protected. www.exactaudiocopy.de. iTunes isn't worth a buck a track for heavily compressed audio IHMO. I'd much rather buy the CD and rip it myself using the compression level I want for portable use.

The one I think is the worst is the 3rd one down (The McKeithens).
