5.0 out of 5 stars I NEED THIS SINGLE!, July 19, 2000

When I first heard this song, I was dying to find out who the artist was...I was shocked to learn it was Leann Rhimes...I never really listen to country...but it is strange because this song falls under the Gospel category...then I found out it was for a TV soundtrack...and that's even better. I absolutely love the song...the words are moving, and Leann has a gorgeous voice that gives me chills. Even if you don't like country (or gospel) music, this song is enough to even make a grown man cry!

Since LeAnn is locked tight in that never ending contract with Curb, they are continually releasing CD's of her material, some of which never appeared on CD's before. In a strategic move to make sales based on some of her most recent hits, thrown in with some rare songs and b-sides, Curb releases the compilation I NEED YOU. Originally released in January 2001, it was re-released in March 2002 to accomodate more songs, including her Olympics 2002 song "Light The Fire Within", and miscellanious remixes of some songs. Before I comment on the album, I find it interesting when this was first released in 2001 LeAnn was totally against it on record, didn't want to support it. Now she's supporting it. Interesting...

The album features some of her best work over the past few years. Most notably the title track, a spiritual ballad from the JESUS mini series, definately a highlight and vocally she is up to par. Then fast forward to COYOTE UGLY era, where she provided the movie's theme "Can't Fight The Moonlight" which was a monster hit for her. Also included is "But I Do Love You", which is also from the COYOTE UGLY OST. Other past hits including "Written In The Stars", the duet with Elton John.

We have some Diane Warren ballads on board as well, "But I Do Love You", "Soon" and "Can't Fight The Moonlight" are all penned by Diane Warren. Decent songs overall. Then there's the song LeAnn helped pen, the country ballad "Together, Forever, Always". Some of the best unreleased songs here include "One of These Days" and "I Believe In You", where LeAnn turns in commanding performances.

Then we have the extra's, Graham Stack Radio Edits of "I Need You", "Can't Fight The Moonlight", and "Soon", and an Almighty Radio Edit of "But I Do Love You". Overall the remixes are touch and go, but if you're a fan I guess you would like them. Overall its a nice collection, sad that its a cash cow to allow Curb to make more money off of her. I hope she comes back with an album of new material, until then this should tide you over.

5.0 out of 5 stars LEANN DOES IT AGAIN!, July 18, 2000

For those of us who are fans of Leann Rimes, it's nice to have a new song. My only criticism is that I prefer CD's with multiple songs rather than the singles. Leann is truly an amazing and gifted singer. Either you like her or you don't...and of course some of you may be somewhere in between. As for me, I think she's great and look forward to her new songs. She touches my heart and soul as few singers do.
