Review

Her normal virtues are intact here -- sharp production, strong singing, and direct, confessional songwriting. The tunes aren't as strong as on Between the Earth and Sky from three years earlier, though. "Wild Heart" and "Giving Away a Miracle" lead the pack. Tom Petty bandmate Mike Campbell contributes guitar, bass, keyboards and mandolin on "Wild Heart." David Letterman bandleader Paul Shaffer plays on one track for his fellow Canadian, whose lyrics seem less optimistic than usual. ~ Mark Allan, Rovi
