Hi!

Sorry, but in the great tradition of love-hounds everywhere I have to
disagree.  Kate's cover of "Lord Of The Reedy River" is completely
unlistenable, IMHO.  I have to skip over that track every time I listen to
the TWW CD.  I don't think it's the song as it was written, either -- the
arrangement is horrendous, and those electronic hooting noises in the
background just set my teeth on edge. Until _The Red Shoes_ came out, that
was the one and only song I could honestly say Kate should never have
recorded, at least for public consumption.

Just offering another perspective... :)
