Not many artists can boast a greatest-hits album by their 21st birthday, but then not everybody logs a Lolita-ish hit at age 13, as the precocious Rimes did with the retro "Blue" in 1996. In many ways, that auspicious debut was her finest hour, full of hypnotic, yodel-laced magic and savant-like promise. Since then, she's recorded a fair amount of bankable pop ("One Way Ticket," "Can't Fight the Moonlight") and a seemingly bottomless well of tripe ("You Light Up My Life," "Written in the Stars" with Elton John). It all sits back-to-back on this collection of 16 familiar tunes, braced with a second DVD disc and three new audio recordings: "This Love," "Last Thing on My Mind" (a duet with Ronan Keating), and the holiday favorite, "O Holy Night." Alas, of the new songs, the first two point up the weakness of much of Rimes's career--her connect-the-dots emotionality. That leaves the heralded Christmas classic, on which she attempts some nervous Whitney Houston canoodling. Best advice: Put the player on "repeat," and enjoy the royal "Blue" treat that got this career rolling, before the aerobicized videos and the embarrassing lawsuit with Daddy. --Alanna Nash

What A Voice.......2006-02-28

LeAnne is Great. This is a great review of her earlier work and will lead to the next Greatest Hits

Excellent collection! .......2006-02-20

Leann Rimes has had a very successful music career so far. This greatest hits album shows her growth. Somehow the songs produced by her dad Wilbur Rimes are conservative by country's standards, such as Blue, One Way Ticket and How Do I Live. But Leann branches out from that mode with later songs produced by Trevor Horn (I went the same guy that did Seal, Tina Turner and Cher's albums did Leann's songs), and even Desmond Child (known for Bon Jovi's hits). And her going to Graham Stack to remix Can't Fight the Moonlight just steps the momentum a bit. They allowed her to experiment more. Love the Written In the Stars duet with Elton John. I liked the very funky Life Goes On. Would have wanted Review My Kisses from Twisted Angel on here. But her country numbers are still her strongest suit. Leann sounds so irresistable vocally on all the songs and I hope that she continues to make more exciting music in the future.

Leann's the Best.......2006-02-06

This Leann CD is a greatest hits CD. This CD is awesome and it has alot of 16 songs plus 3 new songs on the CD. This CD rocks all the time. Do not listen to other viewers because this CD is cool for your Leann Rimes collection of music. I saw her video of "Life Goes On" on VH1.com. So if you are a Leann fanatic then this album if for you.

This 1997 album debuted at the top of the pop, country, and Christian album charts. Sadly, it underscored the artistic vacuum surrounding Rimes in the wake of her explosive 1996 hit single "Blue." At a time when female country singers were being lauded for their growing depth and sophistication, this collection of "inspirational songs" seemed anachronistic and downright corny. The concept was more appropriate to a TV-marketed album by some faded legend than a singer so young. Even the best singers would have difficulty bringing anything new to the over-recorded title song, "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," "God Bless America," "Amazing Grace," and "The Star Spangled Banner," songs impossible to redefine. That might explain why Rimes's vocals throughout are as soulless and detached as her performance of "Blue" was passionate and earthy. At times, she sounds as if she's singing from a teleprompter. The album's success is undeniable. Whether it did her talent justice is another matter. --Rich Kienzle

The product came quickly. It was exactly as advetised and met expectations. Thank You.

Passionate and Beautiful.......2006-06-14

This is a beautiful album. The recording of "Amazing Grace" is worth the price of the album alone. It will raise the hairs on the back of your neck. I bought this album a few years ago not knowing much about LeAnn Rimes and "Wow" I was blown away. Check this album out and I'm sure you will be too. Nuff said.

How Could I Live Without LeAnn Rimes?.......2006-03-31

This is such a great LeAnn Rimes' album! She has a very beautiful voice and just perfect for these gospel songs. These songs are that kind of you could sing in church. LeAnn Rimes sings with emotion. The song "You Light up My Life" is a great opener and there is very good songs like "The Rose", "Bridge over Troubled Waters" etc. There's no bad song in this album. However, the album has only a few excellent songs, rest of the songs are good but not excellent. I like the lyrics very much but there's something missing. Maybe it is that these songs are covers. However, a great extra for my LeAnn Rimes collection.
Stars: You Light Up My Life, How Do I Live, The Rose, Clinging to a Saving Hand

It would have helped if she didn't sing too LOUD on this one!.......2006-02-20

This wasn't a good followup to Blue to me. It would have helped if LeAnn Rimes didn't sing too LOUD on this one! While the emphasis is on inspirational songs, the music comes off as overproduced, overblown and LeAnn tries to pull off her own Celine Dion by overdoing it a third on most of the ballads.
Even the remake of Debbie Boone's overplayed You Light Up My Life comes off as limp. The listening performance comes off as as disturbing and misconceived, not inspiring at all as the album title wants you to believe. It's like LeAnn was pressured to get a record out on the market after the massive success of Blue. Would have been better if she sang an album of new material instead back in 1997.

You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs.......2005-08-04

The songs on this CD were beautifully put together. I liked the combination of spiritual and patriotic music. It has extremely both uplifting and soul-searching songs. It's the best CD's I've purchased in a long time and I'd definately recommend it for anyone's music library.

The genius of At Last...The Duets Album is in its matchups and cross-pollinations. If producer Walter Afanasieff weren't already a much sought after music man--check out his arrangements here if his talents are unfamiliar--he might have built a brilliant career as a modern-day cupid. These are covers with a what-if factor (what if Brian McKnight covers Wham!? What if Richard Marx covered Elton John?) you don't want to miss: LeAnn Rimes wraps Bryan Adams' anthem-y "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" in rainy-day heartache; Yolanda Adams reaches for the stars in a rendition of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" as inspiring as the original; Barbra Streisand waltzes through "The Music That Makes Me Dance" like the years since her heyday haven't mattered; and Earth, Wind & Fire dig the depth out of Raphael Saadiq's "The Way You Move." This, of course, is to say nothing of the sensuality brought to these collaborations by the goldilocked sax man himself. As with all Kenny G projects, the music is smoother than a frappuccino and oddly suited to a soap opera living room set; its swirls, swells, and crescendos seem meant to fall on bejeweled ears in pretty, carefully appointed spaces only. All-instrumental tracks like "Don't Know Why" with David Benoit and "Pick Up the Pieces" with David Sanborn have a fun look-at-me-sharing-the-spotlight quality, but in the end Chaka Khan puts across her point most convincingly: She, not Christina Aguilera, should have sung "Beautiful" to begin with. -Tammy La Gorce

Nice change.......2006-12-13

You know it's sad when someone has to put down another person just to make them feel bigger. I found this album was a fresh change to doing cover songs - face it, everyone in the industry is doing covers, but I really liked the different feel to them. There are some not so great Duet albums out there, unfortunately I have even bought a few, but I feel this one is a good buy...

Kenny G- Duets.......2006-11-10

Kenny G is excellent in this duets CD. Him along with other greats make for very enjoyable listening.

Kenny G is a horrible saxophonist.......2006-08-14

Please noone buy this cd. It is a waste of your time, and the fact that so many people buy this cd goes along with how humans are getting more idiotic as we destroy the planet and continue to rise conflicts in other countries that could amount to a bigger picture. Kenny G is a horrible saxophonist, and all he plays are simplistic lines that people can wrap their heads around easily. If you want to listen to a great saxophonist, listen to Kenny Garret. Or Cannonball Adderly, John Coltrane, Joshua Redman, Wayne Shorter. If you like smooth jazz, Gerald Albright is an excellent saxophonist to listen to.

Very nice! My favorite CD of his yet...........2006-06-17

I always find it humerous that far less accomplished "musicians" will blast Kenny's success all over the place, and basically rate him with the likes of a middle school wannabe. Bottom line - he is successful, he caters to the "average" listener without the ear fatigue that normally accompanies heavy jazz, he is respected among his peers in the business (as evidenced by his duets), and he repeats what works for his success. To trash his talent and success is to also trash the notable musicians and singers who obviously respect him enough to record with him on this CD. He's made millions, so there is an enormous fan base out there that doesn't care much for the jealous comments by aspiring performers. My advice is to judge for yourself!

If you appreciate great musicians coming together to produce some really listenable music, (and I do mean, over and over without ear fatigue), then this CD is for you! I only hope he doesn't stop here. I hope he comes out with more duet albums in the future. Maybe some Chicago, Rascal Flatts, Peter Cetera, Tower of Power, and any number of other great voices in the business!

My favorite is the remix of "The Way You Move"...nice grooves in there! If I had one complaint, it would be that the songs didn't actually line up in the order on which they were listed on the CD cover. Other than that, it's at the top of my favorites in my library of 3,000+ CDs!

It is OK ! Next time,team up with Anita Baker and Regina Belle !.......2006-05-28

Most of the tracks lack emotion and inspiration.
Try next time,with less hype and more substance.

Customer Reviews:

GOOD POP-ROCK EFFORT.......2007-05-09

[3-1/2 stars] This album is a follow-up to LeAnn Rimes' crossover album, "Twisted Angel." LeAnn Rimes has enjoyed more success commercially overseas as a pop-rock singer than she has in the USA. Consequently, this album has not been released in the US.

Now, back to the album. Firstly, this is not a country album. You can tell that from the first few tracks as the familiar country "twang" has been replaced by rock guitars. Most of the tracks are up-tempo, but there are some slower tracks such as "Strong" and "This Life," the latter of which is more like a ballade. She hasn't completely abandoned her country roots, however, with the tracks, "Save Myself" and "A Little More Time." Her duet with Brian McFadden is one of my favorite tracks on the CD and also has more of a country feel. The album concludes with "Some People," which is also on her "This Woman" album.

While not my favorite genre, LeAnn Rimes does an admirable job on it, and the emotion she puts into these songs proves that she has grown artistically from a young teenager to a grown woman.

If you enjoy LeAnn Rimes and pop rock, you might enjoy this album. However, if you're a country purist, you might want to pass on it.

You'd certainly 'wanna' this album.......2007-04-29

Here comes a new album from LeAnn Rimes. Surprisingly, it is an import from Europe, not released in the USA. Still, listeners and fans on both sides of the Atlantic would certainly 'wanna' this CD as it would give plenty of joy and positive thrills. We know LeAnn Rimes to be a country star, who sometimes goes crossover, like on her "Twisted Angel" album (strangely shunned by critics), which was in the vast majority a pop thing. Then she returned to country with her previous "This Woman", which was to the vast majority a country thing. We know LeAnn Rimes to successfully go between the two styles, playing on both fields.

"Whatever We Wanna" is certainly on the pop field, with practically no country, although some tag it in this category. It again showcases LeAnn Rimes' strong vocal mastery and her songwriters' strong grip at what should be good music. The voice is always strong and good, and we all know that it handles both pop and country with equal power, vibrations and exquisite style. Personally I would single out one track "Headphones", but all the others are equally great. The last track "Some People" is also on her other album ("This Woman"). You will hear the voice telling stories from a powerful woman in "Strong", who leaves us "Satisfied" not "For the First Time", "And It Feels Like" you get "A Little More Time" through your "Headphones" or stereo of "Whatever We Wanna".

Some of you may say that some of this material sounds like much of what is now playing on contemporary country charts. Some may note that this is quite a fresh look on the pop music as known in Europe. Some may even be wondering if this music can be classed at all. Some of you may find little notes connecting songs from this album to other albums of either LeAnn herself or other artists. Well, music is a big melting pot of today, and LeAnn Rimes surely knows her way of cooking some good sort of cake according to her own recipe.

This import is double the price I am regularly prepared to pay for a CD on Amazon, but it is worth every penny or cent, as you would return to it again and again. LeAnn Rimes did her best here to ensure that there are no doubts or frustration with even a single track. What you get is what you'd 'wanna' listen to today because it is amazing music from an amazing artist.

LeAnn's at her best.......2007-03-21

The only bad thing about this album is that it wasn't released in the US. In her most personal album in years, LeAnn and her husband wrote every song on this amazing album with just the right blend of country and pop. These songs speak to us all, they have heart and passion. Destructive is my personal fave. I have been a fan since she was 12 and this album is a must have at all times. Keep it handy and it will help you get through anything life throws at you!

It Could Have Been Better........2007-02-08

LeAnn Rimes, now 22, can't catch a break. After she belted her way into national consciousness at 13 with the Grammy-winning Blue in 1996, comparisons to Patsy Cline came flying around every corner. She spent the rest of the decade ducking countryphiles' charges that she had sold out (a few miscalculations in the electronic-dance direction are all it takes, apparently), and by the release of 2002's unselfconsciously poppy Twisted Angel, the genre had largely given up on her--her much-publicized move to Nashville notwithstanding. Now, if you believe early buzz on This Woman, she's back and ready to be re-embraced. You'd have to be a hard-hearted purist to turn her away: though tracks like "When This Woman Loves a Man," tucked toward the bottom of the disc, owe more to Janis Joplin than to Tammy Wynette, it's impossible to argue with This Woman's casually country aesthetic. Rimes's earthy unscarred voice is huger than ever, inhabiting lyrics that are no longer two sizes too big, and jolts of Cline-esque howling and Black Crowes-y guitar raise the interest bar. Call it a pleasingly solid stab at a reconciliation with her country base, but don't call it kid stuff--one glance at the cover, and it's clear the onetime child prodigy has grown into her title. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

Am I listening to the same album?.......2007-06-21

I am not sure I am listening to the same tracks as the other reviewers, but I keep hoping LeAnn will someday feel "it" again. This CD is a continuance of the modern country pop that has lots of everything but feeling. Remember the first time you heard "Blue"? You thought, I have to meet this woman, then you found out she was 13! What was in that song was feeling(and of course LeAnn's voice) Later, "These Arms of Mine"( I may be the only one that has heard this song) had the feeling again. It may take a few divorces and soap opera like situations for LeAnn to feel it all the way, but when she does the music industry may just stop for a while and be amazed. It is in there and it will come out someday........slickrick

Glad to have her back.......2007-05-01

This is a good comeback album for LeAnn, back to the mainstream country that she does very well. Her voice is excellent, of course. The songs are fun and original. Well done.

This Woman is LeAnn Rimes' return to country music.......2007-03-07

With 12 (13 with the Target Exlcusive Bonus Track "Afraid To Fall") new songs, LeAnn Rimes has made her return to the country music industry. With this being her 12th album with Curb Records, I think LeAnn Rimes has done an excellent job for 11 years of singing.

I hope LeAnn Rimes will keep coming out with more albums and keep making great music.

Her Best Yet.......2006-11-29

This is by far LeAnn's best album. All of the songs on it are very well written and produced. She seems to have returned more to her country roots on this CD, but it's okay. The best songs on the album are "I Want To With You", "Nothin' 'Bout Love Makes Sense", "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way", "The Weight Of Love", "With You", "I Dare You", and "Some People." This is a must-have album.

LeAnn Rimes keeps growing up.......2006-11-11

Don't discount this talented country-oriented singer for trying new things. Since her career beginnings (the Grammy-winning "Blue" at age 13 remains quite the accomplishment for anyone is any genre) LeAnn Rimes has faced the scrutiny being so young and achieving so much often brings. She has always possessed an incredible singing ability be it in the country genre she got her first chances in or in pop (as evident from Twisted Angel, a critically acclaimed but fan-panned pop disc). This Woman is by far her best release to date and most consistent in my opinion--the standout here is, of course, the chart-topping "Nothin' 'Bout Love Makes Sense," a sunny tune that helped launch Rimes into country music respect again. But This Woman has a lot more to offer than that instantly likable track. Opener "I Want To With You" is nice, as is "Something's Gotta Give" and the big smash ballad "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way." After that, though, most of the songs (aside from the plucking "With You" and electric guitar-infused "I Got It Bad") start getting a bit boring, but the first half is sheer brilliance. LeAnn sounds amazing and even more mature than she's sounded before on record, and her nice warm tone works with most of This Woman's upbeat breezy material. Sure, it has its flaws here and there, but for the most part This Woman shows us just that, a woman maturing musically. It's an accomplishment that Rimes can be proud out.

Sing It, Girlfriend!.......2007-05-25

Can't believe it is 2007 and I have only just discovered this GEM of a CD. I love the 'whole album' statement, where a story thread runs through the song cycles, Jane Siberry-like (When I Was A Boy). While I like the opening songs very much, this CD really takes off for me at Tic Toc, and just soars from that point onward. Unlike some other reviewers, I love "Sign Of Life." For anyone who's ever been knocked around by life a bit and picked themselves up again, you'll relate. "Love is an Army"? A small slice of magic. The aural effects, like the water at the end of "Review My Kisses," are thoughtful, lovely touches. Leann, would love to hear you stretch out like this again. You go, girl!!!

die-hard country fans stay away...it's a new kind of pop.......2006-11-03

First off-don't compare this album in whole to anything else. There is something to be said for an artist who goes in a whole new direction, as Leann did here. This is one of my fave albums of all time because it's MEANINGFUL POP. There are some hints of rock, some hints of R&B, and lots of pop(the Britney-esque "Tic Toc" especially) and it's all sung by one of the most beautiful voices in the industry.
Leann gives us a couple of coming-of-age numbers like the electric guitar laced "Suddenly" and the title track, which is slightly Christina Aguilera-like in it's soulful convictions.
Ballads are plentiful, like "The Safest Place", "Love is an Army", and "Review My Kisses". We all know Leann can belt out a love song, and these are no different.
"Life Goes On", the seemingly-autobiographical "Wound Up", and "No Way Out" are the other strong pop tracks here.
"Trouble With Goodbye" and "Sign of Life" are the weakest tracks here, both in production value that borders on overly-whimsical and lyrics that are forgettable.
Again, if you're looking for a shred of country Leann, don't get this CD. Fans of Britney, Kylie, or other pop acts who might be looking for something a bit more mature and meaningful with less electronic and more guitar and drums should check it out. The bottom line is, this album is a new kind of pop sung by an incredible voice.

Life Goes On...So Does the Music.......2006-04-06

I am so happy for LeAnn Rimes...she has been a great country artist for years, now she is moving on and uses pop and rock in her music. Surely the hits "Life Goes on" and "Suddenly" are the best-known from this album but this album has even more to give: "Wound up", "The Safest Place", "Trouble with Goodbye", "Tic Toc", "Review My Kisses", "You Made Me Find Myself"...actually all the songs are very good and it is hard to pick the best songs. "Tic Toc" reminds me of Kylie Minogue. Well, the album is 10 % country, 50 % pop and 40 % rock music.
Stars: Life Goes On, Suddenly, The Safest Place, Tic Toc, Trouble with Goodbye

Why Do People Have Such A Problem With This Album? .......2006-02-24

Let's get one thing out of the way. Yes, LeAnn did get her first hit and her gateway to stardom with her country song, "Blue." Britney also got her first hit and stardom with her song "...Baby One More Time." Britney changed with the times and her music got a little more...uh...provacative? So when LeAnn decided to go a little more pop and rock on Twisted Angel, why did people insist that she just turned her back on her fans? For people who swear she did this transformation over night - think again. On I Need You, she did drop hints of crossing over more pop with her irresitible ballad "I Need You" and the toe tapping dance craze of "Can't Fight the Moonlight." Twisted Angel is definately an achievement for LeAnn, rather than a setback that she needs to prove herself better on her next album. "Life Goes On" is an irresistible pop number laced with a nice guitar that should have done much better on the charts. As well as her vocal powerhouse ballads "Damn" and "The Safest Place," as well as her easy listening rock pop ballad "Suddenly." Yes, there are some misteps here, like any album. "Tic Toc" was definately a filler and was way too R&B for someone with LeAnn's vocal abilities. Even the sexed up lyrics couldn't savage this forgettable number.
Unfortunately, LeAnn could not emerge herself as a pop artist and had to please the audiences with This Woman, which is giving her great reviews. No matter if it is pop or country, LeAnn is still a great singer and should not be categorized simply because she is expanding her musical tastes. Musical tastes, by the way, which she has helped written and produced. So to all those haters LeAnn, you were great at the pop biz!

FANTASTIC.......2006-01-26

Nearly 4 years later and I still listen to this...OFTEN. LeAnn branched-out and it was an amazing effort. Too bad people didn't take notice. She has had HUGE cross-over hits, but evidently people weren't ready for a full album. Go get this, you will learn that LeAnn is an artist on top of being a wonderful vocalist! I have turned this CD on to people who are not "country fans" and all of them love it.

LeAnn's voice is amazing and I would put her up there right along-side any of the "DIVA's" of today

Sounding remarkably like Patsy Cline, LeAnn Rimes's voice slices into each song like a hot knife through butter. At the age of 13, Rimes became country's brightest new star upon the release of this impressive debut. Her balanced blend of traditional and new country owes as much to Cline as it does 1990s' style. "Cattle Call," a duet with the legendary Eddy Arnold, is just one of the many highlights on this album. Attention is focused on Rimes's distinctive booming vocals, as opposed to some snappy chops--musically, it all sounds familiar, like you have heard this before. Still, there are moments where you feel this could not be the voice of a child. As she matures, so will her feelings and presumably her songs. --Paula Ghergia

Loved it!.......2007-01-24

I liked LeAnn's music during this time frame even better than her current stuff. The CD arrived well packed, in good shape and on time. I'm happy.

Talent obvious from the start.......2006-11-12

Debuting at the tender age of 13 onto the charts, LeAnn Rimes took the country music world by storm in 1997 with the release of her debut album Blue and No. 1 smash single of the same name. Eventually garnering a Grammy (and being the youngest person ever to do so to this day) lead single "Blue" is the perfect example of what made the young star so popular from day one. Sounding remarkably mature for someone so young and showcasing a modern day take on that classic country sound Rimes' delivery is what makes this debut album such a guilty pleasure. Blue is hardly a perfect listen, but songs like the aforementioned first single, "One Way Ticket," "My Baby" and "Honestly" grab the listener from the start. Don't be blue...get this record. It's worth it.

Great debut.......2006-08-13

Some might think this is a really simple debut from a country artist, but some might forget that LeAnn Rimes was only 13 or 14 when she released this album. These songs sound like great country songs that Mindy McCready could've used to save her career later on. But forget about that. 10 years after its release, when you listen to this album it's just amazing! There are some tracks where you can tell she's young, but on some tracks such as "Hurt Me," where she sounds way beyond her years!

Good Lookin' Woman.......2006-03-30

This is LeAnn Rimes' first album and I think it is also her best. The music in this album is 60% country, 25 % pop and 15 % rock. LeAnn Rimes has a perfect voice for this kind of music. Also the duet with Eddy Arnold is a good one. The most beautiful moments offer the songs like "The Light in Your Eyes" and "Fade to Blue". There's also a great rock song "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)".
Stars: One Way Ticket (Because I Can), Blue, The Light in Your Eyes, Good Lookin' Man, My Baby

Adolescence.......2005-05-12

At the age of 13 teenagers have to face some hard issues. For example, schooling, friends, awkward feelings, and eagerness. For LeAnn Rimes i'm pretty she was experiencing the same feelings, thoughts that most face, but to place the icing on the cake release a debut album in the middle of all the choas adolescence brings. Rimes' debut album was called "Blue". Blue mixes traditional country with a contemptary feel. The album was a sensational hit and threw Rimes onto the spotlight. Now as an adult LeAnn Rimes continues to astonish and make her mark in the country world.
When I first heard the album's lead single entitled "Blue" I was blown away. I couldn't believe my ears. I immediately appreciated the vocal styling. I am quite fond of the semi yodel she does. This is were my theory of contemptary takes into furesion. The song was actually born way before Rimes' was, and as we have come to learn when Rimes first heard the song she knew the song was meant for her to sing. By adding some of her signature vocal stylings "Blue" was reborn.
The second single off the album was a song entitled "One way ticket". This song is uptempo and had some racy lyrics. For example, the song mentions "I'm gonna drink Champagne". How inapproriate is that? We are hearing a teenager whose the same age as our son/daughter/niece/nephew/brother/sister sing about drinking champagne.
The album has a number of songs that I really enjoy listening to. Honestly, Cattle Call ( a duet), Light of my life, Blue, and One way ticket. LeAnn Rimes had a great amount of success with this album which was well deserved. LeAnn won the "Best New Artist" Grammy. While most of us were in school getting past our awkard phase, LeAnn was entertaining us and making adolscence a bit easier to deal with. For that I am eternally grateful!

They are probally hard to find now due to kind folks buying them all up & then reselling- SCALPING them on places like Amazon & Ebay. The DVD is a "CMT pick" & is a limited edition. This is not the same dvd that comes with the Japanese Import but caution there too- it only plays in region 3 & wont play in region 1 the USA.

Fun, irresistible remix album of LeAnn's best songs! .......2006-02-20

LeAnn Rimes found a rare chance to have both a successful country music career and her remixes of those songs to do well on the dance charts. I have heard some of these remixes before on various albums and it was a good idea to combine the best 14 of those remixes for this album. Warning--it moves very quickly on the first four numbers because of the high dance energy. I still love Can't Fight the Moonlight, How Do I Live, Soon, the nice duet with Ronan Keating, I Need You and But I Do Love You. I think that the 3 remixes from Graham Stack on here are his best and have made him a better producer or remixer of songs the past several years. The remixes from Thunderpuss, Aurora Borealis, Mark and Jeff Taylor of the Metro and Brian Rawling Productions group, Widelife, Dave Aude, Mr. Mig and others are just as strong, funky and danceable. Sometimes they're better than dear old dad Wilbur Rimes' conservative productions on LeAnn's studio albums. And the somewhat challenging Desmond Child and Trevor Horn efforts. They did all kinds of things with LeAnn's voice on these remixes. These songs have so many valleys, directions and shifts in its chord changes. They added an acapella song to show LeAnn's own singing too rather than just the remixes. If she would have gone to P. Diddy, it would have been a huge hit too, the way he gets people on the dance floors! This is perfect music to ride to on a long car road trip--it's meant for it! It's like Euro dance meets Nashville all in one place!

Good remix collection.......2004-08-21

I'm a fan of LeAnn Rimes' remixes, so this is a nice collection. Even though they are all radio edits, it's still good. The best mixes are as follows. "Tic Toc" Thunderpuss Radio Edit is a great mix, not a fan of the song but the mix makes it listenable, and a club hit really. "I Need You" Dave Aude Radio Edit is another great one, turns it into a club anthem I could definately hear getting airplay at the clubs. "Suddenly" Riva Radio Edit is a great mix too. Other good ones include "Soon" Graham Stack Radio Edit, "We Can" Wildlife Radio Edit, "But I Do Love You" Almighty Radio Edit, and more. A must for any Rimes fan!

This is a collection of LeAnn Rimes's favorite country standards, plus one newly written hit, "Big Deal." Say what you will about this woman-child--yes, she really needs direction (the 11 remakes couldn't be more obvious choices) and a producer besides her dad. But she's slowly growing into her own style, which here falls somewhere between Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee, and Tammy Wynette. Especially Patsy. Her timing on "Crazy" is quirky enough to offset the ham-fisted arrangement, and she's not bad on "I Fall to Pieces," either; her efforts on "She's Got You," "Leavin' on Your Mind," and "Faded Love" (a Bob Wills song Cline cut) fall short. She also chooses "Your Cheatin' Heart" and "Lovesick Blues," two songs identified with Hank Williams that Cline recorded, and sings the latter like she knows what it means. The wanna-rock "Me and Bobby McGee" is a travesty, but at least she gets to act her age, sort of, on "Big Deal." --John Morthland

Customer Reviews:

Rips your heart out!.......2006-06-12

The Songs "Its Cryin time again","Shes got You" and "Crazy" are recorded with such passion coming from LeAnn Rimes that is just rips out your heart. They have such a somber and morose overtone that you somehow want to crawl through the speakers and comfort this aching soul. This album is a collection of golden age country standards. Listening to this album transports you to its world from which it came. You can just hear these songs being played at some small diner jukebox in South Carolina in about 1958. Leanns voice is nothing short than amazing and she belts out these tunes with such power and feeling that it can actually compare with Patsy Cline or Loretta Lynn. I seriously recommend this album and for the low price there is no reason to pass it up.

Don't Worry, This Isn't Her Best Album.......2006-04-04

I love LeAnn Rimes but this album is not as good as for example "Blue". The music style is mainly country through the album. There is a couple of very good songs: "Crazy", "Don't Worry", "Leavin' on Your Mind", "Big Deal", "Lovesick Blues", and a great Janis Joplin cover "Me And Bobby McGee". LeAnn Rimes has a beautiful voice and she uses it in a great way. This album isn't opened for most fans who like the album "I Need You". Still a great for those who like country and blues.
Stars: Big Deal, Lovesick Blues, Crazy

LeAnn.......2005-07-28

I absolutely LOVE her work. She has one of the most awesome voices I have ever heard!

Big deal.......2004-08-12

The final track on this album just about says it all... "big deal". On her previous album, LeAnn got the balance between pop and country just right, a mainstream sound for the non-hardcore fans, and enough "twang" to keep people like myself happy. But she was criticised for "going pop" on us... and this album is the result.

Unfortunately, it comprises some of the worst covers of "standards", otherwise known as "songs you've heard a million times before by other people" you'll ever hear. I was never a fan of Patsy Cline, but I'd rather listen to her version of "Crazy" than the one on here.

When I read the track listing before buying, I was really looking forward to hearing some modern recordings of all the old favourites. Unfortunately both LeAnn's performance and the arrangements leave much to be desired.

It's not all bad, however. The final track "Big Deal" is quite good. Interesting that it's the only new song on here.

Don't bother with this unless you're a hardcore LeAnn fan who wants to own all her albums. For a better all-rounder, pick up a copy of "Sittin' On Top Of The World" instead.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN TITLED LEANN'S COUNTRY FAVORITES.......2004-02-22

Even though this is not really Leann Rimes's self titled album this cd should've been titled Leann's country favorites because this album is made mostly of remakes of old country hits it is one of my favorite albums of Leann Rimes and one of three of her albums which I own. I mainly bought this cd because I loved Leann's version of Cryin' Time which also happened to be one of dad's favorite songs and no one does it better than Leann AND it should have been released as a single and a hit on country airwaves. I was also shocked that Leann rimes does a pretty good version of Patsy Cline's classic Crazy which is in my opinion a hundred times better than Julio Iglesias's horrible version and Leann does this classic justice oh boy if Patsy Cline were alive today she would be so proud. But my second favorite has to be Big Deal that was the first single and the only new song to be released as a single that tells about a girl telling her boyfriend not to brag so much about himself and is a laugh. Donald Trump should sing this song to the contestants on his tv show and they will listen {ha ha} Even though the album has a misleading title it's a joy to listen even if you are not a country fan. For more old time country fare check out these country classic albums, Marty Robbins-A Lifetime in song 1953-1983, Buck Owens-The Best Of Buck Owens, Roger Miller-At His Best
