As the reviewer points out, the fact that Western Wall went out of print a little over two years ago is a little bit stinging. But I think he may have understated it in terms of it being a peripheral role in both Linda's and Emmy's careers, less so in Emmy's case (since she already had developed a post-big time career in the Americana genre by 1999) than in Linda's (where she ventured artistically for all of the 1990s, but never really re-established a solid commercial footing).
I humbly disagree about "He Was Mine", by the way. Even if Linda was "pouty" on that song, as the reviewer describes it, in my opinion, it still should have been released as a single at least to country radio to show that Linda was still a force to be reckoned with. Given that a lot of the women on country radio at that time were falling into a "soccer mom" routine of choosing material that Linda probably would have rejected, of course, no one can be sure that it would have been a hit, but still an effort should have been made.
