That does not mean she wants to be misunderstood but rather that she feels she has been misunderstood for too long. "Last year everyone pegged me as a country singer because Kenny is. But I want to keep a variety of styles because they all reflect different sides of me. I've always loved rock'n'roll. I'm not a manufactured product. I've made a point of changing."

Possibly "The Mistaken Identity Collection" is one of the three best compilations ever issued in regards to Kim Carnes' musical output, with the other ones being "Crazy In The Night (And Other Classic Songs of Love and Loss)" [1990] and "The Best of Kim Carnes" [1999].
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This album has more tracks than the original Mistaken Identity album. If you want a good deal this is the Cd to get. It also has a couple of songs from the Voyeur album which is hard to find.
