Digitally remastered edition of this 1992 release. The real truth is that Short & Sweet was not Annie's third album: it was her fourth. Snapped up by the major Atco after the critical acclaim surrounding Jackamo, Annie spent a lot of cash and a lot of time creating her masterwork... then the label collapsed, burying said album in a grave of legal limbo. Annie did what all smart girls do: divorced her husband, fired her manager and went back into the studio. Along with her faithful Tackhead compadres, she set about crafting a Pop album; one which demanded that the musical form rise to her high standards, rather than watering down her own creative force to a lower common denominator. Annie is vocally wearing her most comfortable shoes ever on this album, and her lyrics draw from a rich source of anger, betrayal and realism that come from surviving a failed record deal and a failed marriage. A true tour de force.
