Trisha Yearwood is one of the few artists that started off as a huge hitmaker, but continues to record and have midling hits because her song choice and her vocals are among the best in Nashville. Not every artist can pick great music througout their career, but even more so, not many artists can save a weak song by shear musicality, and Ms. Yearwood does just that.
What makes this cd great is that Ms. Yearwood mines songs, not for their hit potential, which could happen anyway, but because she has become an artist who wants to present an album that is artistically sound, from her band and back-up singers (Jim Lauderdale, Jon Randall, Keith Urban, and Jessi Alexander), or picking songs from such heavy weights as Matraca Berg and Keith Fundis. Trisha can afford to pick out the best musicians in country music. Like her predecessor, Patty Loveldss, she just gets better and better, and never hits a false note.
The opening track, the title of the cd, is a rollicking number that proves that Trisha can handle a demanding up tempo song and still show expression and and grit. Following that is the hit "This Is Me You're Talkin' To," which could have been featured on any of her other cds, except that the maturity of the vocals shows her growth. There is no need for her to shout the lyrics or sing riffs to be effective. It is gorgeous in its simplicity and packs an emotional whallop. "They Call It Falling For a Reason" is also an upbeat number that works thanks to great production and Trisha's velvety voice. "Nothin' Bout Memphis" is another stellar ballad that you wonder how she is able to sort through such great songs to find the perfect match for her.
Her masterpiece of the cd comes from in the form of "The Dreaming Fields." Such a beautiful, haunting lyric, full of nostalgia about another place and time that does not sound hokey thanks for the craftmanship of the songwriter, great lyrics, and an understated vocal from Trisha that builds to a crescendo at the precise moment in the song. Bravo I say.
"Cowboys Are My Weakness" also benifits from great production and solid songwriting to tell of a love story about a man rough around the edges, who also cleans up well so she can take him to meet her parents. The vocal is fun, and she slides into the notes effortlessly. "Help Me" is another great ballad. Another great Trisha jewel.
Whatever Trisha chooses for a project in the future, there is no doubt that she will continue to present to us more great music, and if radio chooses not to play it over the overrated Taylor Swift and Gretchen Wilson, well, her fans will flock to it because of its excellence.

For over 15 years, Trisha Yearwood has been known as one of the finest interpreters in any genre of music. One would not believe she's not a songwriter by listening to her bring a song to life. She has a depth that only the finest artists can reach. Not Shania, not Faith, and not Gretchen. She is timeless and classy; a league all her own.
That being said, I was surprised to see this new release from Ms. Yearwood. She's laid back throughout most of this record, sort of off the beaten path for her. Ballads have always been her bread and butter. Very seldom have we seen a glimpse of her fun side ("Perfect Love", "XXX's And OOO's", etc).
She brought back Garth Fundis, harkening her beginnings in Nashville, and the connection was a homerun. The lead off single/title track is a fun romp that we have only seen hints of in the past. But it doesn't stop there. Later in the record, she tears it up a few more times. ("Drown Me", "Not A Bad Thing", "Nothin' About You Is Good For Me") Even her mid tempo songs are pure ear candy. "Cowboys Are My Weakness" is a Holly Dunn cover I believe. It's a soothing traditional country song that will make you yearn for a cold glass of lemonade and a country sunset.
She wouldn't be Trisha Yearwood, however, if she didn't tug at your heartstrings a few times. Second single "This Is Me You're Talking To" is about running into an old lover, and seemingly trying to re-ignite old flames. My personal favorite on the album is "Nothing About Memphis." Her current lover takes her to Memphis to show her around, not knowing that this isn't her first time here...a very nice treat from an artist that is known for her artistic story telling.
These are just a few of the 13 songs on this collection. Trisha Yearwood may not be a major label artist anymore, but don't count her out. She's still a heavy hitter in every sense of the word!
