I would agree with your review. The album’s good but there are no great songs. I like your description of “It’s Alright” with Raul Malo on harmony as “soothing”.
Well written review. I like this album slightly less than Thinkin’ About You. A number of good songs, but no moments that blew me away. The review did inspire me to play the album today, including “Believe Me Baby…” twice.
‘Hello I’m Gone’ and ‘I Need You’ rank as my favorites here. I still play the two up-tempo singles a lot too – and I agree they sound very similar. The title track includes some killer singing.
I haven’t heard all of the songs on this album, but “Believe Me Baby (I Lied)” and “Everybody Knows” (particularly the latter) rank among my favorite singles.
My current Trisha Yearwood collection doesn’t run much deeper than her radio hits, and I know that needs to change. I’m going to get my hands on a few of her studio albums, and these reviews will no doubt help me decide which one to start with.
” … She was in her usual fine vocal form and Garth Fundis produced as usual, but the record overall feels just a little too tasteful at times.”
I’d say it is a little too polished. I’d really like to hear her do something more stripped-down, raw and organic. I agree completely with your take on this album; it isn’t bad but it isn’t her best. A little too AC-leaning for me and not quite up to the high standards of the albums that preceded it.
