Stones In The Road

Description

The distinctions and achievements of this record are almost too numerous to list here: #1 on the Country charts, in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 Pop charts, a number 1 Country hit with "Shut Up and Kiss Me," other singles like "Tender When I Want to Be," "House of Cards," and "Why Walk When You Can Fly?", and the Grammys for Best Country Album and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. But aside from the successes and awards, what makes this album so special is that each song has its own emotional punch, starting with the title track, which was first covered by Joan Baez; we could also mention the transcendent "John Doe No. 24" and the brilliant "End of My Pirate Days" as standouts among the equals of this incredibly cohesive and rewarding album (which Country Universe called the best contemporary country album of all time!).
