10. Great mix, some good performances and some good musicians. Dylan said she couldn't write. The title track proves him wrong! Some other good covers like Fountain of Sorrow, Simple Twist and jesse. Her own Children and All that Jazz grooves!

One of her very best, IMO...and Dylan was wrong, she could write, she just didn't make a habit of writing anything exceptional, but she made up for that this time out. Fine and fitting (in a good way for a change) choice of covers, I think she finally transcended the folkie trappings here and became a pop artist growing older and wiser. An '8.'
