Free Music Notes for Heaven, Heartache, and the Power of Love
Free Music Review: A masterpiece!
Hit: 5 Stars
I can best be described as casual Trisha Yearwood fan. When she arrived on the scene back in 1991, I was much more focused on her contemporaries -- Reba, Patty Loveless, Lorrie Morgan, Tanya Tucker, and Martina McBride, who arrived about a year later. I purchased every CD these ladies released and there's only so much music one can buy. I held out until Trisha released a greatest hits package and purchased "Songbook" in 1997. Then in 2001, she had a big hit with "I Would've Loved You Anyway". I went out and bought her "Inside Out" CD just to get that one track. It turned out to be one of only three or four decent tracks on the entire CD, which was a bit of a disappointment. I haven't bought any of her music since then, with the exception of the single "The Georgia Rain" which I downloaded from iTunes.
With the release of "Heaven, Heartache And The Power Of Love", Trisha has redeemed herself for the lackluster "Inside Out". I just got it today and there is not a bad track on the entire disk. I really liked the title track, which was also the lead single. I thought it would be a huge hit when it came out, but it stalled at #19 on the charts. The second and current single "This Is Me You're Talking To" is a beautiful ballad and vintage Yearwood. There are even a few pleasant surprises -- the unusual (for Yearwood) "Cowboys Are My Weakness", and there's lot more steel guitar on many of these tracks than we've heard from Trisha in a long, long time.
I can't find a single negative thing to say about this CD. I really like that Trisha selected 13 of the best songs she could find -- seemingly without regard to whether or not they are "radio friendly". Unfortunately, that may prove to be the album's undoing; it's simply too good for today's country radio. Trisha's chart success seems to be in decline, but hopefully her fans will generate some decent sales for this latest effort even if it doesn't get a lot of radio airplay. I will go so far as to say that if you only buy one CD this year, make it this one.

Hit: 5 Stars
This is the first album I have heard this lady sing and was delighted with her singing and the lyrics.Have played it many times and with each playing it only gets better!!!!Free Music Review: Great Voice. Mediocre songs.
Hit: 2 Stars
Everyone who sings for a lifetime has an occasional dud album. This is one of Trisha's.
She still has a great voice, but the songs here are about as memorable as cotton candy--a temporary pleasure but instantly forgotten.
I long for the Trisha Yearwood of "Bus to St. Cloud" and "The Song Remembers When". I hope this album doesn't mean her career is over and she just hasn't realized it.
Free Music Review: Heaven, indeed!
Hit: 5 Stars
I think this is Trisha's best album to date. Her seventeen-year career has seen such great albums such as "Thinkin' About You", "Everybody Knows", "Jasper County", and the country-pop "Where Your Road Leads" - but this one is even better.
It is, in turns, soulful, bluesy, and, of course, country. The whole album is great, from the uptempo title track and lead single ("Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love") the power-ballad and next single, "This is Me You're Talking To", through the beautiful "(He Don't Know) Nothin' 'Bout Memphis" and the serenly haunting "The Dreaming Fields". Other favourites are the captivating ballad "Let the Wind Chase You", the gentle honky-tonk of "Cowboys Are My Weakness", the foot tapping "Nothin' About You Is Good For Me" and "They Call It Falling for a Reason" and ends with the quiet ballad "Sing You Back to Me".
If you only buy one Trisha Yearwood album, make it this one.
Free Music Review: She's Back!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a fan her entire career and have loved most of her work. Her last effort "Jasper County" had a few jems, but was mostly lackluster. It was filled with songs I consider "filler". This album is quite the opposite. Trisha has returned with quite an impressive list of songs. Great song selection and a wonderful tone to her voice. She has regained my faith that she will continue to be one of the most impressive female vocalists of my lifetime.
