Yeah, I don't know why she titled it like Prince either, but what a great song.

1. Car Wheels is one the greatest records of all time, bar none ... i know the whole thing

by heart ...

2. Yeah, one of those rare albums where just about every song is gold.

I'm not crazy about the melody or arrangement of "Joy," but I like it when she's all fierce and raging. Switch that song for "Changed the Locks," and it's a damn near perfect album.

3. I dunno ... I wasn't a big fan of Joy at first but it grew on me over the years ...

And is Changed That Locks that much better? They're actually really similar songs ... I'd rate 'em both about equal in her canon ... I like 'em both, but don't LOVE either one.

Joy also brightened up considerably when they played it live on that tour ... it was pretty blistering ... one of those 'better played live' kinds of songs ...

But when you can only reasonably come up with 1 song on an album to complain about ... that tells ya something

Just about every song on it was my 'favorite one' at one time or another aside from the title track, which is actually my least favorite.
