With the move to the major label, Nanci gets a top Nashville producer, Tony Brown, with all the trimmings. The result is a more "mainstream" sound, but it's still rooted in traditional folk and country. This album contains the now-standard Julie Gold tune "From a Distance," and there's also a bunch of strong originals including "Ford Econoline," "Beacon Street," and "Trouble in the Fields;" plus excellent covers of "Nickel Dreams," "Let it Shine On Me," and the title tune.
