...with touselled hair. The Best of LeAnn Rimes is a greatest hits album. It was released in 2004. It is the international edition of LeAnn Rimes Greatest Hits, released in the US in 2003.

Hymns Of The 49th Parallel

Advantages: You'll learn perfect singing technique from this album
Disadvantages: More songs on the album would have been great

Haunting voice, haunting songs, almost otherworldly. K D Lang really comes up with goods on this one. Her rendition of the Jane Siberry's "The Valley" is par excellence. The music is restrained yet emotional and seems to ebb and flow in all the right places with perfect timing. Of it goes without saying that on this album K D Lang's voice is the most commanding instrument in the ensemble. She must have had a lot of fun with this one because it truly ...

Get Demented!

Advantages: Pure unaffected Singer
Disadvantages: Her voice will not appeal to everyone

Infamous Angel 1992 I've always enjoyed singers with unique voices Iris Dement would definitely fit in that category, her voice is pure unaffected and can send a shiver up your spine like few present day singers. That said her voice is not for everyone, my wife for one can't stand her, no accounting for taste! Anyway I think this is a suburb album by one of the best current female country artists. To label Iris simply as a country artist would ...
...style and sound. The emotion she can put into a song is breathtaking especially the brilliant "Our Town" which will appeal to anyone who comes from a small town which has seen better times. This is not a commercial country album the instrumentation mainly acoustic is traditional and the harmonies are right out of the 1950's. Think 'Oh Brother, where Art Thou' soundtrack' to get some idea of the instrumentation. All Iris's songs cover traditional ...

Leann's back.

Advantages: less poppy than her previous release
Disadvantages: the ballards

...Opening with the title track Family the album starts well, the country start becomes a rockier track which covers all the reasons a family is what it is, and how it is, certainly it seems Leann has been lucky enough to have a family who have kept her rooted despite her success. Next up is Nothin Better to do, followed up by Fight, the first ballardish on the album, a nice track which would fit in to the commercial market quite nicely, and is the ...
...has a similar theme to Family in that it is an observation that despite our differences people all want to have love, another poppy sounding song it has to be one of the best on the album. Nothin Wrong is another more country song on the album, it is a duet with Marc Broussard and talks about the challenge pf staying faithful to a partner when faced with someone you fancy who isnt your partner. It has become quite firmly stuck in my head much to ...

this one you have to have

Advantages: some of the best ballads ever
Disadvantages: a couple of songs a little too poppy for a country album

I am the proud owner of 7 faith hill cds and this one next to'CRY' is one of my favourite. I even had to go out and rebuy it when my car stereo ate the disk and didn't want to give it me back. One thing faith hill does...the best...in my opinion is the power country ballads. ON this one you have a couple of her best and most moving...by far the most touching is...if i'm not in love with you! which starts of with a bit of piano and works its way up ...
...love with you what is this im going through and if this heart is lying then what should i believe in' This cd would appeal to fans of new country but maybe a bit pop-like in places(eg i got my baby and if my heart had wings) for some but is quite main stream so i feel it would be enjoyed by anyone who likes great vocals, human lyrics and great melodies. This cd is worth buying just to hear faith do the bruce springsteen song 'if i should fall ...
