But the mood is so different. Not just the tempo, but the meaning. One is almost camp and the other is sparse, spare, more gutteral. More serious than fun. It really puts me in mind of urges (yeah, maybe demons) being restrained.

Countdown
The Right Place To Fade
Show You How
Love Runs Deeper
Try For The Sun
All My Sorrows
Down On Rodeo
This Nearly Was Mine/Say We'll Meet Again

Share yours!

Well this is a revelatory listen. Thank you for sharing your ears, chili. Three things of note: 1) this tracklisting made certain songs stand out in ways they never have for me before, such as Play In The Rain, Great Day, Wrong, You Do or You Don't, and even Under the Skin; 2) this ordering also really makes me hear Lindsey's guitar playing differently which probably speaks to the type of guitar playing that interests chiliD; 3) both 1 & 2 speak to the realization that Lindsey's albums are full of great beauty and great songs, but that, for me, the albums tend to lack the variety that allows the songs to stand out and for their consistencies to be discovered with pleasure/surprise. You know: the qualities that distinguish Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk, and Say You Will.

Well it's hard really to judge because the studio version of My Little Demon that I heard was of such poor quality that I can't even really imagine what kind of impression its weirdness would make after proper production. I just found it unpleasant. As for The Dance version, I don't think it's campy at all. But right now, in my memory, it's getting all mixed up with the Unleashed tour's rendition of I Know I'm Not Wrong.

My kingdom for a live CD. Will it happen?

Not necessarily "better", just "different".

I must have missed this some where a long the way. There's a studio version of My Little Demon floating around?

Not a "finished" one...but a couple of different "demo" versions. One very sparse with the banjo as the lead instrument...and another one that is fairly similar to The Dance version with slight arrangement differences.
