5.0 out of 5 stars The Sex Bomb Shows No Sign of Aging, December 8, 1999

Although this CD has been released for 6 years now, this is still one of my most played CD. KT Oslin shows no sign of aging on this collection. In fact she teams up with Glen Ballard (one of the hippest producers in pop music) to record 3 new tracks and re-recorded 2 more of KT's songs from her catalog. The result is sensational!

"New Way Home," a track that first appeared on KT's perfect CD "Love in a Small Town" gets a more updated production. But this song is a gem -- it's heartache personified. The song tells the tale of a woman avoiding her ex's house's by taking a new way home. KT sings with so much emotions that you can feel your heart breaking with hers.

KT can get witty with a satircal poke of modern life taboos on "You Can't Do That," while she yearns for substitutes in place of love on "Feeding a Hungry Heart."

Some of her greatest hits are also represented here including the no.1 country hit "Hold Me." A song about intimacy that every couple should listen to at every marriage therapy session. Although the 80s has long passed but her tribute to the modern woman on "80s Ladies" is a song that defies time.

This CD is a CD that crosses all music genres from country to pop to a little bit of blues. But it's the hearfelt emotions of KT, her unique gift of crafting thought provoking songs, and her wit and humorous twist to certain songs that make this CD a classic. This CD shows no sign of aging, in fact the sex bomb is alive and well. But this is also a sex bomb with heart and soul.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Collection From One of the Best..., June 4, 2003

When I think back to 80's country and recollect the best 'artists' of the time, I think of Rosanne Cash, Earl Thomas Conley, Judds, Lyle Lovett, and K.T. Oslin. Each of these artists brought so much freshness to country music. I loved Oslin, which surprised me because I never thought I would love music by a middle-aged sex bomb, but she is so full of sass, creativity, and she has some very fun songs that are realistic and not over-blown. I love "Hold Me", which was a bold single to release to country radio (thankfully they loved it!), "Come Next Monday", "This Woman", and "Hey Bobby" are all songs that broke down barriers about how 'country women' should be and what 'country women' should sing about. My all-time favorite of hers is "80's Ladies", which seems weird since I'm a guy and at the time the song came out, I was only in my early 20's, but that song has some of the best lyrics I've ever heard and they are so honest to what women her age had been through in their lives. I especially love the ending of the song, which sounds like a nursery rhyme, but accounts what each of the 'girls from school' ended up doing with their lives. I will always remember K.T. being the best of the 80's; a strong and vibrant woman who wasn't afraid to break down the weaker sex stereotypes. If she had been my mother, I wouldn't have been embarrassed of her at all, I would have held my head high and said, "Yep, that's my mom!"

This is K.D. at her finest. This woman has always stood apart from the crowd of bowers and scrapers doing whatever the industry dictates to get a hit song. She's nervy, she's strong, she's independent, and she's ungodly sexy. Some of her songs send shivers cascading down my spine.

Don't miss out. This lady is one of the music industry's best examples of a reason for existing.
