Trust me. The Walking is quintessential Jane Siberry. It is her best work to date.

I have to disagree on the latest Siberry _WIWAB_. I didn't really think it was 
that great until I listened to it over and over for about a week. There
are definitely many very good moments. I'd try the tape loop
test. Stick it in your car stereo for about a week and listen to nothing
else.
