After a couple decades of acts that blended different genres in either a discordant manner (Red Hot Chili Peppers) or a very-ironic manner (lots of indie-folk stuff), this is lovely and smooth fusion of country, jazz, and rock elements that's pleasant in the way that a classy evening in Manhattan might be for visitors from Wyoming.  It's so nice!  And the "I Am a Rock" cover manages to sound like an original composition that doesn't merely make one long for the original, as most covers do.  If this is a glimpse of the cabaret and crooner sounds of the fledgling century, I have been rewarded for not killing myself during the rap-metal era.

I love this album!! Carey's voice is beautiful and strong and her songwriting is honest. Carey weaves a tale of a complex young lady who is happy being who she is and where she is and yet still strives to reach her goals. She is strong and independent and yet she has a tender heart. There is something for everyone on this album. My personal favorite is "Home" but every song on this album has a special place in my heart. Great job Carey!!!
