HER BEST & MORE!, November 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: American Girl (Audio CD)
Juice Newton once more records songs that display her talent and her fantastic band! Juice's emotions can be felt in such songs as "You Can't Say You Don't Love Me Anymore" and "Love Hurts". She takes you on a joy ride with "Ask Lucinda" and "They Never Made It To Memphis". It would be a shame if Country Radio passes this by. Juice gives her all everytime and this being all new material for her in over 10 years, she gives you one of her best albums ever!

Juice Newton's Best! A Great CD!, October 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: American Girl (Audio CD)
Juice Newton's first studio album of new material in over 10 years is definitely worth the wait! Her voice is better than ever and the songs she chooses are perfect for her sweet, sweet voice. The CD is layered with remarkable instrumentations, bold, interesting song choices and some absolutely brilliant performances. Her cover of Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is surprisingly good as is her rendition of "Love Hurts," a 60s song later made famous by Nazareth. It is, however, the lesser known songs that really showcase Juice's talents. Her finest moments include a heartbreaking track "You Can't Say That You Don't Love Me Anymore" and the smart, catchy love song "Keepin' Me Alive." Many great songwriters are represented here: Nanci Griffith, Tom Petty, Freddy Mercury and Juice Newton herself. All the songs are top-notch entertainment and pure, sweet country. This CD is a great way to get reacquainted with one of the most successful singer/songwriters of the 80s. Highly recommended!!!

A Welcome Return, February 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: American Girl (Audio CD)
For anyone who ever thought Juice Newton was an artist of the past, this album is proof otherwise. With an incredibly clear, mature, and versatile voice, Juice explores a wide range of musical styles - and succeeds with all of them. This album cements her status as a true cross-over artist -- appealing equally to fans of country and pop music. The only disappointment is that Juice didn't write more of the songs herself. Especially since one of the best songs on the album is the one penned by Juice, "Nighttime Without You," a surprising blend of country and big band styles. The heartfelt ballads and rollicking country/pop songs make for a very well-rounded album. It's no surprise that people would celebrate a holiday in honor of Juice Newton. She is terrific.
