Advantages: Fantastic vocals really bring this album to life, the music enhances it. Disadvantages: It is too short, another couple of hours would be nice.
I saw a video of a Faith Hill song on CMTV, I enjoyed it, so I brought the album, 'Take Me As I Am'.
Anybody who likes the newer style country music will love this album. Faith Hill has a beautiful voice, and this album has the perfect selection of songs to emphasize that. The styles are varied from the rock of 'Life's Too Short To Love Like That', to some beautiful ballads including,'Just about now' and 'But I will'. The lyrics are ... ...you can almost feel the emotion behind them.
The song I love the most from this album is, 'I've Got This Friend', a duet with Larry Stewart. It is a ballad about two people who are trying to find the perfect partner for a friend, in doing so they find they are perfect for eachother. I know it's soppy and romantic, but what would the world be like without romance?

This is one of the few albums I have, that I can happily listen to over and over again. There are no songs that I think are out of place or inferior to the others in any way.
This is a truely superb album, anybody who loves real music can not miss this one. Romance, conflict, and heartache; the music tells a million stories, strengthens the will, makes you remember. The power of song is a truely wonderful thing.
Advantages: A good amount of quality songs. Disadvantages: Not as good as her later releases.
FaithHill signed a record deal wih Warner Bros in 1993. Her debut album, TakeMeAsIAm, reached No 1 on the Billboard Country chart. FaithHill was an over night success in Nashville, which is very hard to accomplish due to Nashvilles strict rules, but everyone seemed to love Faith and awaited her second album release.
It Matters To Me is the follow up to TakeMeAsIAm. Recent FaithHill releases show Faith moving from the country/pop sound into country/pop/rock. This album is Faith's last 100% pure country album before she decided to crossover.
1. Someone Elses Dream (wiseman/Bruce)
This upbeat song is about a girl who has done everything in her life for someone else and she's finally decided to take her life back and do things just to please herself. Faith's voice isn't at its best in this song, but the song itself is pretty ...
Advantages: Variety of songs is really good - no two sound the same. Disadvantages: One or two weakish songs
Iam a music fan in general and I don't dicriminate as to what I listen to. I love rock, r'n'b and country with a dollop of pop added in for good measure. If I like a song I like it, no matter what genre it belongs to. But I have to say that there are very few artists whose entire collection I like. FaithHill is one of them. Iam a fan of her recent material. You know... 'There You'll Be', 'Breathe' etc, all of her crossover material from when she made the decision to take on the non-country listening world. However, I do prefer her early material, the real country stuff. I have done since I was flicking channels about aged 13 or 14 and spooted a blonde haired women in a long black dress standing by a piano belting out a tune... you guessed it - it was FaithHill singing 'It Matters To Me', the title track from this album. Faith gave me ...

Producers: Scott Hendricks, Michael Clute, Gary Burr. Recorded at Woodland Recording Studios, Midtown Tone And Volume, and The Soundshop, Nashville, Tennessee. Listen to this fairy tale. A beautiful homecoming queen who aspires to be a singer leaves her small Mississippi town, arrives in Nashville, releases a debut album, and immediately scores a stream of #1 hits. Well, the story is true. The singer is Faith Hill, direct from a town called Star. On TAKE ME AS I AM, the strawberry-maned, country-thrush exhibits a warm, satin voice, deceptively strong, with a slight, fragile quiver reminiscent of Dolly Parton. She has a liquid, vocal strength similar to that of her idol, Reba McEntire, but devoid of Reba's overwrought vocal gymnastics. From the defiant, teenage-rebel anthem "Wild One" to her brave, countrified remake of Janis Joplin's signature rocker "Piece Of My Heart," Hill stakes out the wide territory between traditional and contemporary country, most notably in the classic-sounding "But I Will." In this impeccably produced (by boyfriend Scott Hendricks) album, Faith doesn't shy away from important topics. In "I Would Be Stronger Than That," she tackles domestic violence. Unlike the aggressive tact of Martina McBride's "Independence Day," Faith takes a more reflective stance. With her striking looks, full-bodied vocals, and strong material, TAKE ME AS I AM, poises Faith Hill as the next queen of country music.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (2/10/94, p.46) - "...show[s] an appeal that runs deeper than a pretty face..." Entertainment Weekly (12/10/93, p.79) - "...Faith Hill might seem a Reba McEntire clone without the histrionics, but Hill lacks her contrivance and goes for a wider scope of material..." - Rating: B+
