I'm launching this thread because the album's such a contrast to the other one we did. You Gotta Sin to Get Saved was Maria's second solo album and saw her scaling to the very pinnacle of the album chart, peaking at Number 26 in Britain in 1993.


 


It is a Country Blues album, featuring former members of her old band Lone Justice and was made primarily to keep the record company happy.

I would say it's the album on which she hit her vocal peak.

I'm free to do this tonight, unless people would rather do the Wu-Tang Clangers instead.

I think we should do the Wuhan Clan one 2nite as we did that overblown MK album the other day.



We can do this one tomorrow if you want?


Someone else can choose the one after that one.

OK.

that's assuming everyone else can make it.

I'll do Mar Kay if you want.

I think we need to see what the others think, and go with their demands.

I shall set a deadline of 7 o'clock. If no one's expressed a preference for the Clangers by then, we'll do this one at 8 o'clock, as I suspect it'll be the less-demanding of the two albums. Then, tomorrow, once everyone's braced for it, we can do the Clangers one.

I should point out that this is a very very light listen and not at all like the other one.

In fact, it might be too light.

We might have to hold it down with weights to stop it floating away.

Let the mob decide.

But will they show up?

Sorry what one are we doing?

It is up to The People. If they demand the Woo-Tango Clangers, we are doing that one. If not, we are doing this one.

We can do this one.

Thank you, Nightie.

What time?

7pm?

Oh, 8pm.

When all my favourite TV programmes come on.
