I too think 1000 Kisses is a great recording. One way to try to describe her style is to imagine Bonnie Raitt singing some of the earliest Lyle Lovett songs (like 'Closing Time' or 'Pontiac'). Even Bonnie Raitt singing on some of her 70's records is reminiscent (like 'Been Too Long At The Fair'). All the acoustic soul of these songs comes through superbly. One of the best things I've heard in quite awhile.
