Basically a Best of Alix collection, this 70-minute summer 1992 release documents Alix’s life in songwriting — and the landmarks of her life which inspired those songs. It’s well balanced, with 20 songs spanning 1962-1992: six generic love songs, six specific love songs, six political analysis songs, and two ‘inspirational,’ one generic and one specific. In addition to some of everyone’s favorites, she includes a brand-new recording of the previously unreleased, very controversial My Lesbian Wars… plus a 1970 pre-lesbian recording of Shinin’ Through (which gives great perspective on her journey — one that parallels that of many lesbian-feminists). This release coincides with her first year off the road in eons, making it especially precious!
