"Baltimore" is a GREAT pick, though, and it's not really on any of the other new comps. To Be Free is great if you want a lot of live material. as for a first introduction, i’m not so sure.

I know I should dig deeper but I never did. These are really funky though. Not a word I expected to use to describe her music. High time for me to get acquainted with her catalogue.
