Love's Enough / One Night Stand and especially Waiting For The Moving Van are the major keepers here. definitely one for my late night/rainy outside file.

I agree that the straightforward ballads (I'd include Another Friday Night) are more appealing than the musical theatre "production numbers", which can get "overwrought" as someone said above.

yes, absolutely correct. they just feel a lot more natural and affecting than the more self consciously arty/theatrical pieces.

Moving Van & Another Friday Night are my favorite tunes on the album... but I like every song, with Billy Utah being maybe the weakest. It's a strong collection. (Weird, I think I started this thread.)

Oh, I take that back... Montana Song brings me almost to tears, maybe the loveliest tune in the Elektra catalog.
