I've loved TIJNMG since the first time I heard it...but it was still a close call with Savannah.

One of my favorite JB albums, really.
I'm SHOCKED that I'm the only one who's voted for Madomoiselle (Voulez-Vouz Danser) so far.
That song is like a lullaby. Plus, it brings back very special memories of my first visit to New Orleans, a really wild weekend, and someone very special that we met there. Love Peter Mayer tunes.

FSOTW ... because one of my favorite lines of all JB songs,
"Time to sing, time to dance, LIVING OUT MY SECOND CHANCE."
and that's what I'm doing!!

TIJNMG is numero uno with me, probably because I have a guitar and the words seem to hit home with me. A close second would be ATWIWY and SFYW.

This is definitely one of my favorite albums and there are many songs that I like on it, but the title track stands out, barely, of ATWIWY, TIJNMG, SFTW and FESWOPG.

These are my thoughts. Get out of my head!

Agree with you both. Album is not high on my list, but those three songs make listening to the whole album worthwhile.

This album did produce Jimmy's 2 least favorite songs of mine thought. Hokey Pokeu and Autour are unlistenable for me.
Word for word what would have been my post.

as far as im concerned this album is one of his best. for me i can listen to it all the way through without skipping a track. that being said it was hard for me to vote, but i had to go with Tonight I Just Need My Guitar. its a great song that hits a perfect place in my heart. its so simple and powerful. i would love to have him do it as an encore, just JB and his guitar. hint, hint

Larry, thanks for the headsup on this song! I never really listened to it much but I did again yesterday after I read your post.
Great song....thanks!

The more I vote on these the more I realize that his ballads are very underrated.

Well you are now not the only one who has! I love that song, I voted for it and its just very beautiful. It is certianly a song that envokes memories of the night I met the BF, and other nights with him that were very special.

ACCCKKKK.....
There are SO many great songs on this album.....
When it came out, I was ON the Far Side of the World.... I *love* this song...
But TIJNMG wins..... Sometimes more than others, you see who and what and where you are.....
