My vote: Love Scenes. I have a bunch of her CD's/SACD's as well but am really not that big a fan. I think the reason she is so popular here is because she records well. Her discs sound good on a bad system and on a great system she is right there in the room. It's funny how a really good recording can help you overlook a somewhat mediocre musical performance. I think she has a really affected singing style that grates over time. Love Scenes is the least over the top in this regard and the trio arrangement (bass, piano and guitar) tend to deemphasize the schmaltz factor that I detect on many of her albums. If I were you I'd buy one disc at a time so you can be sure you dig her.
