Ah, but maybe if the new CD from Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman actually were 20 minutes longer it wouldn't be as good... maybe it originally was longer and they decided that some of the tracks weren't up to standard... who can say... I hear more albums that contain filler, which would have been stronger if they'd had fewer tracks, than I do perfect albums. One of my favourite albums, Pink Moon by Nick Drake, is around 30 minutes long. I love every song on it. But I wouldn't want it to be longer. It's just fine how it is.
