I am so glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. In fact, when I first
heard "Mississippi," I thought -- for teh first time EVER in my eighteen
years of KTB worship, "This sounds like something Kate ought to cover."

BTW, did anyone see Paula Cole do "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" on
David Letterman a few weeks back? It's was a VERY Kate performance ...
Paula sang into a mask of a "pretty girl" with blond braids during the
verses. The mask gave the vocals the "filtered" effect, plus was visually
striking.

Keep your Tori ... I say Paula's the real thing.
