5.0 out of 5 stars A Class Act, July 31, 1999

By A Customer

Olivia is definetly "Back With A Heart" with this cd that shows she is still as talented as ever. While radio and many fans have basically ignored this CD the final product is one of her best. The title track, "Love Is A Gift" and "Under My Skin" are among the highlights. While Livvy failed to score a radio hit both "IHLY" and "Precious Love" were CMT hits showing that country fans have a much wider mind than many country DJS. Olivia faces the problem of not exactly fitting any format. County fans(some)think she is too pop and pop fans(some) have failed to grow with Olivia and want Physical Part 2. Thankfully, Olivia has the good taste to simply sing from her heart and the results are a classy album. Pick up a copy today! Although not released in the U.S. GAIA also is a great look at this very talented lady today.

4.0 out of 5 stars Back With A Heart: Olivia's Return To Her Roots, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

If you like ONJ's country music, this album is for you! This artistic triumph is overflowing with sparkling, feel-good music that will put some pep in your step and a smile on your face. Olivia Newton-John has rarely sounded better than she sounds on Back With A Heart. The title song says it all, and ONJ is not afraid to give us a little gusto along with the other sweet, satisfying songs featured here. Aside from the title song, the best cuts are "Closer to Me", "I Don't Wanna Say Goodnight", "Don't Say That", and the stunning re-interpretation of her signature song, "I Honestly Love You". I must admit that I am not a consumer of country music, so I won't presume to try to sell this album to hardcore country music enthusiasts. However, I do think it merits mentioning that a similar backlash against Olivia's country music transpired 25 years ago when she won a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal. She survived and prospered nonetheless. I have no doubts that this album will find its intended audience, not in country music fans, but in Olivia music fans. Bravo, Olivia!

after bending herself out of shape in the 80's trying to be a sex kitten, olivia's come full circle. save for 1 track (fight for our love) this set is worth my time (and money).
