Amazon.com With his first single, 1990's "I'd Be Better Off (In a Pine Box)," Doug Stone looked as if he might infuse modern country with a good strain of morose, and slightly gothic, dread. Alas, the Georgian turned out to be a little more than a radio guy--a singles artist with a light baritone and an easygoing delivery--who played to neglected housewives and their fantasies of gallant men who stayed enchanted on the morning after. Several years ago, Stone suffered an inability to sing after a series of heart attacks, strokes, and bypass surgery. He's back in fine form vocally, but as before, he aims no higher with his material than to revive his role as the tender, restless romantic. If "The Heart Holds On," a duet with Leslie Satcher, shows her to be not quite ready for prime time, Stone shines on "Take a Letter, Maria," a remake of R.B. Greaves's 1969 pop hit, and on "A Room Without a View," a lover's self-made prison. --Alanna Nash Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMore of Doug Please Brian Mumpower | 07/20/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "When last we visited Doug Stone he had a career. Unfortunately he join the growing list of once commercially successful artists who now cannot get radio play. This was one of my favorite releases of 1999 and it deserves far more recognition than it got. Make Up In Love's title track is a heartwarming yarn of enduring optimism in loves ability to conquer poverty. Other highlights include "Surprise" reminding the listener of the fears, joys, twists and turns of a maturing love relationship, "Deeper Than That" celebrating loves inner beauty, and my favorite (co-written by Stone), "A Room Without A View. Stone shines on every ballad he records - "The Difference Between A Woman and A Man" and "Oh Moon" are two more stellar examples of this. A worthy remake of "Take A Letter Maria" is also included. The only weak offering is "The Heart Holds On," a duet with Leslie Satcher whose voice does not compliment Stone's." Make up in Love Sabine | Eureka, California | 12/22/1999 (3 out of 5 stars) "I enjoy Doug's "country" voice so much. The songs are not what I expected. "Make up in Love" and "Take a Letter" are familiar and easy listening. Doug is the storyteller within his music. I may have to "listen" a few more times to fully enjoy the songs without being too analytical. "Room Without a View" has great potential." Mild Jess | 10/12/1999 (3 out of 5 stars) "Makeup in love is the best.The others that I heard will pass.I will buy it to go along with my collection."
