Trisha Yearwood

"Inside Out"
After establishing herself
as "the Linda Ronstadt of the '90s," Trisha seems to
be suffering from the sort of hackneyed production that undermined
Ronstadt's career. Despite her impeccable vocal control, she
barely finds room to breathe amid coproducer Mark Wright's cheesy
bombast on the album-opening "Love Alone." The following
cut and first single, "I Would've Loved You Anyway,"
sounds like a Celine Dion ballad that got lost on the way to
a movie soundtrack. Fortunately, Yearwood loosens up with the
playful bite of Matraca Berg's "For a While" providing
material worth sinking her teeth into, while vocal support from
Vince Gill ("I Don't Paint Myself into Corners") and
Buddy Miller ("Love Let Go") complements her subtle
soulfulness. A sing-along with Rosanne Cash on a remake of the
latter's "Seven Year Ache" adds little to the classic
original, but neither does it subtract appreciably. The title
track features Don Henley on a frisky duet that reprises his
and Yearwood's "Walkaway Joe" pairing. --Don McLeese |
Customer review from Amazon
Reviewer: A music fan from Moscow,

Yes, I too believe that this new
album has more pop to it than country. SO!? It's still Trisha!
I congratulate her on her trying new music. If she were to follow
the same traditional country that all country fans expect then
she would be no different than all those teeny bopper pop sensations
out there. My favorite albums of Trisha's are Real Live Woman
and Everybody Knows, and yes this album doesn't measure up to
those two, but it is still a wonderful album, displaying Trisha's
excellent talent. She can sing so many different ways, and this
album shows it. What's wrong with that!? A true Trisha fan would
love all of her albums, because it's her voice and her emotion
that you should pay attention to, not the style or type of song
she picks to sing! I recommend anyone, country listener or not
to go out and buy this album and any other Trisha album! |
