Patti returns to the "Ballroom" for her annual birthday soiree.
Three words - GET THIS NOW! The show includes powerful renditions
of several favorites and covers of the Blues Magoos, Beatles, Monkees
and Bob Dylan. The Dylan cover is sublime - the best version I've
heard since Nanci Griffith's version with Carolyn Hester.
