5.0 out of 5 stars Another Tanya masterpiece, September 21, 2003

This was one of Tanya's biggest selling albums, containing three country top ten hits. The standout song is Two sparrows in a hurricane, which has become one of Tanya's signature songs. Tell me about it is a brilliant duet with Delbert McClinton. The opening track, It's a little too late, is an excellent foot-stomping song that was successfully revived by Mark Chesnutt only four years later.

Besides those three hits, the album has plenty of other great songs. Can't run from yourself is a great song that was surely considered for single release. Rainbow rider is a song with a western theme, not to be confused with a similarly titled song, also with a western theme, that Sylvia recorded on her Drifter album a decade earlier. Danger ahead is a great bluesy song to close the album. The other songs - Don't let me be the last to know, I've learned to live, What do they know and Half the moon - show Tanya singing tender ballads in her own distinctive style.

This is one of many brilliant albums that Tanya recorded and is an essential album for all Tanya fans, with much to interest the casual buyer too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tanya's best by a country mile ........., July 3, 2008

This is Tanya's best album. Very strong song selection means there is something for everyone. And, unbelievably, you can get it here at the moment for a cent.

The reason why this album is so good is that her trademark steel and gravel voice is tempered by unusual sensitivity and gentleness (eg Two Sparrows In A Hurricane). "Can't Run From Yourself" is a bluesy classic, with stunning guitar work. Delbert McClinton's duet vocal on "Tell Me About It" is a musical marriage made in heaven. And she completely nails the beautiful "Half The Moon".

Fantastic singing, great arrangements and musicianship, and no second-rate songs - what more could you want? I'm not too keen on some of her albums, but this is a no-brainer.

I Have Been A Tanya Fan Since I Was A Kid. She Has A Great Voice. My Mom And I Like The Balled "Two Sparrows In A Hurricane". It Is A Very Sad Song. The Dance Tune "It's A Little Too Late" Can Make You Get Up And Tap Your Toes On The Dance Floor. Mark Chesnutt Did Another Version Of The Same Words In 1996. The Duet With Delbert McClinton "Tell Me About It" Is Also A Dance Song. This CD Is Great For Any Tanya Fan.
