I'm a Patricia Barber fan and bought this without hearing it. I was disappointed because it is what it says it is..verse and as the earlier responder commented, reminds me of the beat poetry of the late 50s. I think she is at her best when she sings "The Beat goes on" and "Voodoo Woman." I feel that I can always count on a few of these on each cds and this justifies the purchase... I have to admit that I enjoy the instrumentals from her earlier cds that are strong on drums and I think the backup is as important with their tracts as are hers. She used different people this time. This one was not what I was looking for myself.
