Ivor, Derek. Thanks for the descriptions. I have just ordered it (the 2 CD set) along with Glen Hansard's Solo Album.
Had my first listen to "Leave Your Sleep", very interesting. Impressive how she has tackled the various poems and associated the various styles/genres of music to them. Her voice is a bit more gravelly (is that a real word?) than before but still extremely enjoyable. It is, as was said, musically stunning and a superb collection. I’m definitely going to be listening to this a lot more in the future.

You gotta love a guy whose campaign slogan when he ran for Texas governor was "why the hell not?"
