5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best country records ever made. Period., January 9, 2002
This review is from: Juice (Audio CD)
In 1981, Juice Newton exploded onto the Top 40 pop charts with three Top Ten hits from this million-selling album. "Angel Of the Morning" was the first to hit #1, followed with the #2 hit "Queen Of Hearts"...and then came possibly the most memorable of all Newton's singles, her tender reading of Otha Young's "The Sweetest Thing," which also reached #1. The "Juice" CD is proof that Shania Twain and Faith Hill were, by no means, the first female country singers to repeatedly top the pop charts. This CD holds up to any current Hill or Twain release, even 20+ years after its initial release...partially due to a wonderful remastering job by Steve Hoffman. Also, Newton's voice was probably at its all-time best when she recorded this collection, with just the right amount of power and vulnerability, and the songs she chose are simple, direct, and wonderful. Her covers of "All I Have To Do Is Dream" and "Country Comfort" are every bit as good as the originals, plus her self-penned "River Of Love" is an astonishing track, proving that Newton is as good a songwriter as she is a vocalist. This CD has just gone out of print, for some reason, so snatch it up while you can. It's a classic country CD at a great price! And it is a collection you will enjoy for the rest of your life.

Far too long a wait to go on CD, January 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Juice (Audio CD)
This CD is one of my favorite albums of all time and also made me a life long fan of Juice Newton. For all the people who go on about the "new country and how Shania Twain et al, have successfully melded pop and country, this is the woman who actually did it first some 20 years ago. Capitol records took far to long too put this on CD! So if anyone is listening it would be great to have "Quiet Lies" and "Dirty Looks" on CD too!

"Juice" is the best of its kind!!!, August 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Juice (Audio CD)
If you're a big fan of the Eagles, you'll love this CD! Finally available on CD eighteen years after its release, "Juice" stands as a monument as the album that laid the groundwork for such artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shania Twain. Juice Newton successfully blends rock, folk, pop and country into a lovable package, one layered as a diary of the young white country girl in America. She hits all the topics: first love, loss of virginity, the importance of family, making peace with the past, and heartache. Every song is cleverly placed on the CD to evoke mood and emotion. The real gem of the collection is "River Of Love," a meditation on loneliness written by Newton. Even if you're not a big Juice Newton fan, I urge you to make this incredible, influential album a part of your collection.
