This 2004 collection of re-recorded hits and new material found Loeb returning to her independent roots after a major-label stint. It offered a more stripped-down, intimate take on her well-known songs and introduced a handful of fresh tracks.
- The album was released on Loeb's own Furious Rose Productions label. It features re-recordings of such hits as "Stay (I Missed You)" and "Foolish Little Girl." The album reached number 39 on the Independent Albums chart.
- This album featured a more roots-rock-influenced sound than some of her earlier major-label work.
- It was a deliberate return to the independent spirit of her early career.
Lisa Loeb is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter from Bethesda, Maryland, known for her distinctive, intelligent pop. She burst onto the scene in the mid-90s, defined by her prominent glasses and smart, alternative-inflected songwriting.
