5.0 out of 5 stars pure artistry - my favorite Trisha release, July 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Hearts in Armor (Audio CD)

Trisha's follow-up to her self-titled debut release remains my favorite Trisha release to date. Trisha Yearwood is simply unsurpassed as a narrative singer. I've read that Trisha went through a divorce during the making of this album and much of this material -- all excellent songs -- certainly reflects that. But the voice is totally vulnerable, beautiful, and undeniable. My favorite cuts, "Walkaway Joe" and "Down on My Knees", are simply drop-dead gorgeous masterpieces. She also flexes some blues chops to great effect. Again, she's joined by stellar talent -- Garth Brooks, Vince Gill and Don Henley. On "For Reasons I've Forgotten" she is magically paired with Raul Malo of the Mavericks -- he appears frequently in her subsequent releases. The closer, "Hearts in Armor", another duet with Don Henley, evokes Linda Ronstadt at her best. If you like Trisha, you must have this album.

With harmony vocals that feature Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Garth Brooks, Raul Malo, and Don Henley, HEARTS IN ARMOR features a delectable serving of country sounds. Emmylou Harris contributes to the writing credits of one of the highlights of the CD; "Woman Walk The Line" is as traditional as it gets, featuring fiddle, mandolin, and steel guitars. "For Reasons I've Forgotten" (written by Jamie O'Hara) and You Don't Have To Move That Mountain" (written by Keith Whitley) are also songs beautifully done by the crystal voiced Yearwood.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of the Best, January 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hearts in Armor (Audio CD)

CDNOW listed Hearts in Armor as one of its picks for "Best of Genre" and I have to agree. This album is packed with winners and focuses on Trisha's brilliant interpretative skills.

While the hits "Walkaway Joe" and "Wrong Side of Memphis" were undeniably strong, I think other tracks on the album best showcase Yearwood. "Down On My Knees" is one of those rare cuts that combines great vocals, minimal production and excellent instumentation, and a beautifully written song. And I love the energy and sass she injects into "You Say You Will."

I think the most affecting track for me on this album is the title track. It's so stark, pure, and beautifully rendered that it best captures Trisha's abilities. Hearts in Armor is arguably the srongest album Trisha's done (it's in a close running with Real Live Woman on that one), and definitely raised the stakes on her career.
