Free Music Notes for Inside Out

Free Music Review: Incomparable
Hit: 5 Stars

The opening track "Love Alone" is a perfect sonic explanation of Trisha's powerhouse vocals. I can't imagine anyone else having the stamina or control to sing the hell out of this song, the way Trish does. Absoultely wonderful.

The first single, "I Would Have Loved You Anyway" is not the dud that some reviewers want you to think. While it does have more mainstream appeal, this song is actually classic Trisha. As she herself says in her concerts, "If you want happy songs, you're listening to the wrong person." Here, Trisha recalls the emotions that made "How Will I Live" and "The Song Remembers When" so great.

Next is "For Awhile," a surprisingly funny track recalling getting back on the horse after a break-up. The perfect line? "Late at night/I write my own movie/and I am the star when I close my eyes/except I look like Julia Roberts/and you're just the poor jerk that I walk on by." The chorus is one you'll be unconsciously singing for days if you've ever had a relationship go south.

"Seven Year Ache" is a cover of Roseanne Cash's phenomenal hit. What makes this track unique is that Trisha actually has Roseanne guest on it! Not only does this song show Trisha's unparalleled harmony ability, it's just one hell of a song!

"I Don't Paint Myself into Corners." What can be said here? It's just a beautifully written song, so it's no surprise it was penned by Trisha's MCA counterpart, Rebecca Lynn Howard - a terrific singer in her own right. This song hits NO sour notes. It's just breathtaking.

"Harmless Heart" is achingly gorgeous -- a plea to a former lover that states that love gone wrong is sometimes the result of one's own inability to conquer their past. Gorgeous.

"Inside Out," the title track with former "Walkaway Joe" partner Don Henley is surprisingly the album's weakest track. The harmonies are terrific, but the song just doesn't grab me. The same holds true for track 8 "Love Let Go." It's a great song...just not one I can identify with.

The real magic is evidenced in track number 9, "Melancholy Blue." This achingly beautiful track is sonically stunning. The simple arrangement and the somewhat-obscure lyrics are refreshing, but when the true message of the song is revealed, you'd be hard-pressed to not be fighting back tears. It's just a simply sweet song. To see Trisha perform it live is a gift.

The final 3 tracks are true gems in classic Trisha style. She just turns it out. This isn't just a fabulous CD, it's the next link in a long chain of wonderful music this amazing woman has given to the world.
