Description
It is hard to find a recent decade where Tracey Thorn's voice and song-writing has not been influential and in celebration. 'This album deliberately isn't called The Best of Tracey Thorn,' says Tracey of the collection, 'You have to have a story to tell, a unifying theme, and here the idea is contained in the single word of the title, Solo.'

i'm thrilled beyond belief and speechless - (both of which rarely happen in my tiny world).
not a perfect line-up of songs, but there's enough substance here to merit some serious applause.

thank you, Linda, for my favorite piece of music news in a LONG time.

NOTE: the USA version is a paltry one-disc set.
FINALLY got my UK 2CD and PROPER set in the mail today - a treasure trove of all things non-lp and Tracey-else.

Somehow I ended up with 2 of these. I need to check to see if at least one of them is the 2 CD version.

I guess her guest vocal on John Grant's "Disappointing" was too recent to make the cut?
