Rick,
I totally agree...but, if impersonating Dorothy will help bring about a new Kate album, then put on your red shoes, and start clicking those heels together!!
In Kate's catalog, The Red Shoes was, for me too, not a real strong album. With all the great musicians that appear on it, the only one that's overtly
evident is Prince
who I've never been a fan of...
Kate has often maintained (in interviews, etc) that her albums are very much about dance, so I can regard some of the more "Princely" tunes on the Red Shoes in that vein, but there are also some classic Kate ballads, etc. I suppose one could (and probably has in past threads) discuss her "progness" but her writing has always elevated her out of the "pop" realm, especially with The Dreaming, and her masterpiece, Hounds of Love. And based on shouts, there are lots of KB fans on the Moon!!
But, as you say (should this come to pass) I look forward to the listen too!!
