Amazing album. At times heartbreaking, and at other moments, hilarious. A great representation of a remarkable talent.

I am completely in love with every single song on the CD. Sutton has such a talent, I'm glad she finally got to have a solo CD. "Up On The Roof" is so mellow-sounding, I could fall asleep listening to it (in a good way!) Did I hear Megan McGinnis on one of the songs towards the end of the CD singing with Sutton?
Is the really a "best song"? I love em all! My fav, however, would probably be... On My Way but rOcKs... You should buy the whole cd and decide for yourself, its really tough :)
Two of my favorites are 'Up On The Roof' and 'On My Way'
And the random 'Oklahoma', just for that last note.

After a second listen, I agree that 'Nobody's Cryin' is the best track.

Here is a really awesome interview with Sutton talking about each track on the album (and a little about Shrek, too!). Its a really interesting, intimate interview.
Did anyone go to her Lincoln Center concert last night? It was AMAZING! Of course I can't find the song list they handed out at the end of the show...can anyone post? Thanks!
