4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, but..., December 20, 2010

Make sure that you read that little sticker when you enlarge the album art image; it says "LIMITED EDITION DOUBLE CD (contains disc 1 disc 2 available seperately)." It's still a good CD. However, I own the Cornflake Girl single (that has "Daisy Dead Petals") and I wanted "Black Swan" and the other version of "Honey" mostly, that's on the 2nd disc (sold separately) and that also comes with "Pretty Good Year." I don't really care for "Home on the Range"; since I have memories of my dad singing this song like a fool when I was a little kid, I can't get used to this version of it. Obviously, this review is all opinion, and I just wanted to let people know that this product only has the first single with "Pretty Good Year", "Home on the Range", and "Daisy Dead Petals." Happy Holidays! Ciao! :)

There were two CD singles released at the same time with this name. The first one has

1. Pretty Good Year

2. Home on the Range with Cherokee addition

3. Daisy Dead petals

the second CD has

1. Pretty Good Year

2. Honey

I really enjoy both CD singles and feel that they really add to any tori Amos collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Tried To Bribe The Undertaker, February 3, 2006

One word: "Honey"! This song is absolutely in the top five best Tori b-sides of all time!! It is so creepily haunting, the acoustic guitar and the violin-sounds make you feel like you're driving under a black cloud-filled sky with the top down. The chorus provides a moment of respite, with it's lush tones. This whole song has an eerie western feel to it, with lyrics about dust, cowboys, and indians. An absolute must-have!!

"Black Swan" is much slower and characteristic of songs like "Baker, Baker." It's just Tori and the piano, and I think she's trying to induce tears. It's a gorgeous song but it's not as original-sounding as "Honey".

"Pretty Good Year" is the same version that's on Under The Pink.

A Side Note: I paid mega $$$ for this off eBay a few years back, like, $50 or so. If you can get it cheaper here then definitely do. Also, when I pop this into my iTunes it's read as "Pretty Good Year - Part 2" which is consistant with what the sticker on the jewel case says: "This CD is part of a limited edition double cd." I unfortunately do not have Part 1 nor do I think I have ever seen it.
