CD Reviews
Nice album

"This album came off the heels of her successful SONGBOOK compilation from 1997. The first single "There Goes My Baby" was a big hit for Yearwood. She was on the top of her game at this point. Winning accolades from Nashville. Too bad it sort of ended here. This was her last truly successful album. She worked with Tony Brown as a producer on this one, giving it a more crisp, smooth production than past albums. The music leans a lot more to crossover than her previous albums have. Ballads once again are her strength, as evidenced on "Never Let You Go Again", "Love Wouldn't Lie To Me", and others. "Heart Like A Sad Song" is just that, a very sad song. "I Don't Wanna Be The One" is a nice emotional ballad. The title track is another duet with Garth Brooks, not quite as good as "In Another's Eyes", but still good. She manages a good cover of the Stones "Bring Me All Your Lovin". "I'll Still Love You More" was another hit from the album, a nice Diane Warren ballad. Another highlight is the uptempo song "Wouldn't Any Woman". Overall a strong album start to finish."

"Trisha Yearwood has to be the best female country singer. My fav's include "There goes my baby" "Powerful THing" an off another cd "Shes in Love with THe BOy" and "I'll still love you more"(some popular hits) are the best song in the world. But it you'll love it!"
A high-top on Trisha's career. Absolutely a must-have !!

"How to fit it all in 1,000 words is going to be tough!!! Being the avid Trisha fan as I am, or rather FANatic, could you expect anything LESS than 5 stars from me? Onto TrishaThis could be her best album to date, no lie. The emotion in this album, along with jaw-dropping vocal performances leaves you in utter and complete awe. Each song in itself a masterpiece and each song in itself stands on it own. No surprise considering she's the best voice in "today's country music", and she has such talent finding songs with lyrics that SAY SOMETHING. That have a purpose.With most albums there are one or two songs that you dislike, or that you simply like. Every song on the album is something that reaches to your very core and you love through and through.Beautiful ballads such as "Never Let You Go Again" just makes you sigh, or "Love Wouldn't Lie To Me" that just breaks your heart. One of *my* favorites on the album, another ballad ! is "Heart Like A Sad Song" which could get the hardest-hearted person crying.What I find most amazing on the album, is how although each song is diverse as it is, each album is so full of emotion. Nothing is half-..well yknow the rest.For all of you wondering, yes there is a Diane Warren ballad on the album: "I'll Still Love You More" which seems to be a favorite among most of the people I know. With Diane Warren penning the song, I don't think you can go wrong anyhow.Now what about those more blusy, rocking tunes?? well for that she's got "Powerful Thing", "That Ain't the Way I Heard It," "Wouldn't Any Woman," and "Bring Me All Your Loving." "Wouldn't Any Woman" is among my favorites, because of the lines: "I've loved you to the limits of my self-respect/Now I'm leaving with what's left/Wouldn't any woman."Now, I know most of you are wondering about "Where Your Road Leads"! the title cut, which also happens to be a FANTABULOUS duet! with Garth Brooks. It is written by Victoria Shaw and Desmond Child, Victoria co-wrote "The River."What else? Well there's a Carole King/Paul Brady tune called "I Don't Wanna Be The One" with one of the most outstanding vocal performances I'VE EVER HEARD.If you don't get this album, you're nuts. Pure and simple. Sorry but it's true. It's an album that just grabs you and won't let go. The emotion in her voice, and the depth of her music can only be described as magic. The best album of the year. Period."
Typically classy album from Trisha

"Of all the contemporary country singers to emerge in the nineties, Trisha was (and remains) my favorite although not by much. This album is typical, containing many great songs from some of the finest songwriters around (Annie Roboff, Jamie O'Hara, Al Anderson, Don Schlitz, Mark D Sanders, Dianne Warren, Carole King, Allison Moorer, Victoria Shaw and J D Souther among them), yet requiring several plays to really be appreciated. Many of the songs are ballads but there are some faster songs to provide variation. Trisha is always careful to select songs that mean something to her. I sense from the lyrics that her personal life was difficult at the time she recorded these songs.
The album opens with There goes my baby, a reflective ballad about a former lover. Maybe the second track, Never let you go again, is a sequel as it is about getting a second chance. Net comes a song about cheating, That ain't the way I heard it. Powerful thing (an up-tempo song about love) was a country top ten hit. After this comes a superb ballsd, Love wouldn't lie to me, but it did. As if to prove that love lies the next song, Wouldn't any woman, is about the end of a relationship. In contrast, I'll still love you more finds Trisha deeply in love. Heart like a sad song is about a woman (not Trisha) who cannot find lasting love whatever she tries. I don't want to be the one is about a relationship that is in difficulties. Bring me all your loving (the Allison Moorer song) is about missing somebody and wanting his love, not flowers. Allison's own version eventually appeared on one of her albums (The hardest part) two years after this album was released. The album closes with the title track, which is an excellent duet with Garth Brooks.
This is not as strong overall as some of Trisha's early albums but it is an album of very high quality that no Trisha fan should be without."
