Free Music Notes for Heaven, Heartache, and the Power of Love
Free Music Review: I thank God for Trisha Yearwood.
Hit: 5 Stars
. . . for showing how country should be done.
I love this album! She's redeemed herself for the mostly disappointing Jasper County. Leaning more towards traditional than contemporary, it's the perfect balance of old and new country, and I hate new country. Her voice is as powerful, dynamic, and full as ever. For vocal comparison, listen to Carrie Underwood's new album. I love Carrie but you can hear Trisha's soul in her voice, it's so much richer. You can't beat that.
From the up tempo tunes to the ballads, the arrangements and vocals are perfect. She can sing anything. Her voice is powerful enough to not be overtaken when the band is jammin', and soft enough when accompanied by just an acoustic guitar. Again, the band is first class and the harmonies are sweet.
This is the real deal. Not a bad song on the album. How many albums can you say that about? Album of the year contender, most definitely.
I would also recommend Josh Turner's new album, Everything is Fine, especially the cut with Trisha harmonizing. Great.
Free Music Review: Trisha Is Back!
Hit: 5 Stars
It's not too hard to see why Trisha Yearwood has been one of the bigger stand-outs in the world of female country singers during the last two decades. While some may see her only as Garth Brooks' missus, or know her only for "She's In Love With The Boy", others see her as her own woman--and that is indeed what she is, Her Own Woman, on her new release, HEAVEN, HEARTACHE, AND THE POWER OF LOVE.
After sixteen years at MCA-Nashville, Trisha moved to the mostly-indie Big Machine label to record this album. Here's hoping they know precisely what they have on their hands, because it is a winning piece. Apart from the title track, there are standout songs like the R&B-styled "Nothin' 'Bout Memphis" (with its ubiquitous references to Elvis), the toe-tapping "We Tried", the Western Swing of "Cowboys Are My Weakness"; and "Sing You Back To Me", which she dedicates to her father, whom she lost two years ago. It is on the two Matraca Berg co-penned songs ("They Call It Falling For A Reason"; "The Dreaming Fields"), however, that Trisha really shows what she can do. Her vocal intonations on both of these songs, as has been the case on a lot of the songs she has done in her career, are very reminiscent, but not slavishly imitative, of her spiritual role model Linda Ronstadt. The gift Linda has had of choosing songs that tell a personal story has so often rubbed off on Trisha, and it does so here on HEAVEN as well.
At a time when the country music industry is so hot-to-trot for the Next Big Thing or content to pepper its airwaves with jingoistic bromides, cutesy novelties, or Hallmark-type material, Trisha is one of the few who continually sees value in the art of being true to oneself. It may not be possible any longer for artists to have careers of 40+ years as Linda has had; but if she keeps on making great albums like this, Trisha may be one of the luckier ones to reach that mark.

Wow, that voice! Usually Trisha Yearwood's records are ballad-heavy, but this album pretty much has it all. The title track is a great rousing number, and she lets her pitch-perfect voice rip, but I also love the great beat and lyrics of "They Call It Falling For A Reason." The horns on "Nothin' 'Bout Memphis" really surprised me - so cool - and, to me, make this one of the standout tracks. "Let The Wind Chase You" is a bittersweet ballad with perfect harmony by Keith Urban - they need to do a full-out duet as their voices blend wonderfully. Later in the album she has a couple of more traditional, yet distinctive, cuts ("Cowboys...", "Help Me"), and they serve to show just how versatile a vocalist she is, not to mention the diversity of this album. I'd swear "Help Me" was written for Tammy Wynette - really evocative of something she would have done. "Dreaming Fields" features a delicate falsetto within its swirling melancholy - quite the story-song with a Celtic bent. If there's a criticism, its that track 2 veers awfully close to Celine-bombast - thankfully it doesn't quite get there. I read in an interview she cut the closing song dedicated to her father, "Sing You Back To Me", on the very first take, and you can hear why - filled with such raw emotion, its perfect as is. Overall, highly recommended. Free Music Review: The Album of the Year

All of the other country music artists should put off releasing any albums until 2008. Trisha has released the Album of the Year. Buy it, love it and tell everyone about it. And don't even mention the name Carrie Underwood to me. Cover her legs with a long skirt and she can't even get near Trisha.
