Kim really outdid herself on "View from the House". I'm almost sad for all the people who have missed out on this amazing album. "Speed of the sound of loneliness" is just one of the MANY gems included on this late 80s masterpiece. If you don't already own this one... do yourself a favor, it's still rather easy to find on eBay (as opposed to most of her CDs).
I heard this song on my favorite radio station yesterday and fell in love with it. I just had to look it up on the Internet. The accordian in the background makes the song perfect.
"Speed Of The Sound Of Loliness" was recommended by one Billboard reviewer: "there's perfection in song, singer, and production."
This song was composed by John Prine and Kim Carnes included on her album "View From The House" released in 1988. This track peaked #70 Hot Country Singles & Tracks. Unfortunatelly MCA didn't give much attention for the album project when Jimmy Bowen left the Presidence of record company.
