I have a very hard time defining my musical taste, because it jumps around 
through different periods of my life.  Like, at this point in my life, I'm 
into good female vocalists/lyricists, as well as jazz (Something about Miles 
Davis and Mingus reaches right inside of me, much the way Kate, Sarah, or Tori 
can do), and hip hop...there's some real hip hop genius out there, and when 
you mix that with the right jazz backdrops, wow.  I also go for the swinging 
jazz/showtune vocal stuff, like Sinatra and Tony Bennett. 

Who knows when this will cahnge though?  I mean, I never lose my appreciation 
for my past music loves...I just move on to other things that I listen to more 
often than others.

So now I'm moving into Kate, which, this may sound weird, but it feels like a 
different musical experience than listening to my other female favs.  Well, 
that probably doesn't sound weird to you guys...you probably understand what 
I'm talk about more than anyone. =)  Listening to Kate is a different musical 
experience for me than listening to Sarah or Tori.  I'm still new at this 
though, so my opinion is bound to change with subsequent albums.

So, if I can find it without too much trouble, you guys would recommend TWW if 
I don't have much (which I don't)?  No offense, but the cover art/KT symbols 
don't interest me all that much...=)  I mean, not enough to make a difference.
