Itâs pretty obviously a cousin of Another Green World or the quiet part of Before & After Science.

Such a weird, unpleasant, awkward album. The cover is apt. And I really don't appreciate Sanborn's sax most of the time.
ha ha...yup, cover art is rather weird and awkward. I'm not a Bowie fan. Right now i'm going through some old used vinyl i accumulated back in the days when CD was king and vinyl cheap. I plan on either selling, giving or trading them. Gotta make room for the vinyl i've purchased the last 7 years since i've gotten back into vinyl. Having said that, i actually enjoyed some of what i heard here. Although i do recall listening to a Sanborn CD years ago and wasn't impressed.
And what do you know...another Bowie album coming right up...

Yeah, not a happy album and her voice might be an acquired taste...I went down a rabbit hole listening to her live concerts on youtube after listening to this album. She has recovered from her stroke exceptionally well. It may be since I, too, was born in Louisiana that I really like her sound.
I grew up in Lake Charles.
While in college at LSU, she saw someone selling joke bumper stickers saying âI LOST ITâ as a response to those annoying âI FOUND ITâ ones that were on cars. That apparently inspired her to write the song âI Lost It.â
I was the one with the bumper stickers.
But I have never asked her to jump off the Lake Charles bridge. The fall is nothing, but the water - supplying the PPG plant and others in the adjacent city of Sulphur - would likely be the death of you (although I did used to waterski right there on Cripple Creek).
Right there at the bottom of the Lake Charles bridge was a small marina that a friend and I would launch a HobieCat from. My Boy Scout troop went there on Saturdays to mow its grass.
That beach is where a lot of us congregated to spend the night of our high school senior prom, 1976.
At some point later, some decided to cover the beach with broken glass, rendering it unusable without finding yourself cut up. I think itâs been cleaned up in the following decades.
