Willing to Wait was my first experience of Melissa Ferrick, and I would venture to say that it is the best introduction available. This album works great as a pick-me-up when you´re down...intelligent, at times light-hearted...gentle, yet prodding you to get back on your feet. On the other hand, it provides a nice respite from the daily chaos. If you´re trying to decide on a Melissa Ferrick album through which to get acquainted, this is the one for you. Massive Blur just won´t do the trick the way this one will. Check out "I Am Not" and "Cracker Jack Kid" and you´ll be hooked. In the endless search for truly great music, Willing to Wait, for me, was definitely worth waiting for. Be happy you´ve discovered it...
