She has toured alongside Sarah McLachlan, Jewel, Melissa Etheridge, Joan Osbourne and Fiona Apple, as part of the line-up for the first Lilith Fair Tour in 1997 and at the same time, to promote her album.

Reviews

Comprised of great songs and great melody, this album is a definite must-have. The major hit Where Have All The Cowboys Gone still sounds good and of course, I Don't Want To Wait, though it was almost overplayed during the popularity of the show, Dawson's Creek, it is still the all-time favorite. Earning seven Grammy nominations, This Fire stands as her best album. --Raine 06 December 2006 21:40 PDT
