A few thoughts following on from some of yours.
- I find myself often listening to Son of Solomon, then from Dear Life onwards. Live Before I Die and A Love Divine in particular have grown on me a lot, lovely songs. Of the other ones, most I feel really needed a different producer and/or more time in the studio to be great. Then Chasing Shadows isn't a bad song, it's just very country (not really my thing) and a little somber to boot, so it is more difficult.
-Agreed that No Go Baby has a musical theater feel at first. I noticed after I saw it mentioned in a review. There's a real musical flow to the lyrics that makes them feel like a song/poem even though there's a lack of traditional rhyming.
-There are a few background noises here and there. At 2.30ish in Son of Solomon there's a sound that's really like a notification sound on a program on my computer. There's another one in another song that kind of sounds like my name being called out faintly in the background. Both of those still get me occasionally.
-Season Of Our Love is heaviest on the overdubs. In addition to violin, tin whistle, extra strings, sounds like there might be a little bit of drumming overdub? I'm not great at drum sounds but some of the snare triplets(?) in the second verse sound a bit pushed to the front and also don't sound like the snare triplets in the first verse. Whatever it is, it's a nice touch.
-Seems like Chasing Shadows, Hit My Ground Running, Live Before I Die, Season Of Our Love, A Love Divine and The Sun And The Moon are likely Sharon songs - on a mix of the sound of them (compared to her solo stuff anyway) and the fact she is on the piano for a number of them. If this is true it is interesting that all six JC songs played at the RAH were likely Andrea's songs - with the seventh (No Go Baby) unlikely to be a live staple.
-Studio vocals I am not really sure on. Definitely sounds like they did minimal vocal takes. It works out sometimes, but there are other songs where I thought Andrea sounded better at the RAH, most obviously for me being Butter Flutter being better live - and that's with her sounding nervous about debuting a new song, so I can imagine that one's going to be amazing live now they know it's shaping up to be a fan favourite.
