 
"I'm Yours"
Linda Davis
Beautiful woman with a nice
voice. Yawn? No doubt. But Linda Davis's debut is not nearly
the slice of Nashville fast food that such a description implies.
A Grammy Award-winning singer (Best Country Vocal Collaboration
with Reba McEntire for "Does He Love You," 1994), Linda
Davis uses her quivering, Parton-like voice and a fighting spirit
to good emotional effect, especially on genuine moments like
the evil-boss-minded "Company Time" and the distant
father story, "In Pictures." A twang-friendly album
that rocks better than it ballads (think heartland rock à
la John Mellencamp). --Neal Weiss |
