Enough is enough, leave the poor girl alone!, March 3, 2000
Ok, almost three years after the release of her 5th solo album, Wynonna is still being hounded for this "over produced" and lack of style album. But c'mon. Have you listened to this CD? I mean really listened to this CD? The CD starts out with the top ten hit, When Love Starts Talkin. Now, after one listen, I can guarantee you'll be doing your own lip synch to this song. This song is one of those killer songs you just want to rock out to in the car on a long drive across the country. Other highlights on this album include the title cut. Written by fellow country crooner Kevin Welch, The Other Side invokes a feeling of belonging to the lyrics. I think we can all relate. Wynonna trys her hand at song writing on Troubled Heart and a Troubled Mind. Does it work? It is a great attempt, not quite as good as her previous authorship (One Hundred and One--from The Judds LCBAB 1990 album). She has some slow ballads, including Come Some Rainy Day, dedicated to her sister, Ashely. Mama Judd shows up on Don't Throw that Mojo on Me, a song that showcases Wy's characteristic style. Kenny Wayne Shephard adds guitar licks as well. Why Now and Always Will shower us with lyrics that elicit thoughts of "yes! I know what she is talking about." A rather weak duet with John Berry is also included here. The Other Side might not be one of Wynonna's best, but it does show R&R that she is not afraid to take a chance. It is too bad that the music industry does not share that same bold approach and instead embraces the pop like country divas of Shania and Faith. I mean can they really hold their own against the powerhouse voice of Miss Judd? Take away all of the pomp and circumstance and all you have left is your voice. Wynonna Judd will be the last one standing!

The best yet, July 17, 2000
By A Customer
If you like Blues, Country and a little rock and roll in your world this is the album to get. WY really shows off her talent on this album. My favorite is the blues sounding Don't Work That Mojo....., next is the Love Stats Talkin, the mellow but uplifing The Other Side. Wynonna has really developed her talent and tells us a littlle of her challenges and triumps on this album. Great album!

Wy's BEST work...what's wrong with country radio?, October 14, 1999
First, this album is fantastic. Artists like Wynonna are few and far between. This album combines rock, blues, soul, and country into an irresistable mix of soul stirring, toe tapping music. Standout cuts are "Always Will" (Wy had the Irish thing goin' on way before the Dixie Chicks!), "The Other Side," "The Wyld Unknown," and "Why Now." But, I must say, the most incredible cut is "Come Some Rainy Day." It's one of those songs that can take you to another time and place. My question is, WHY isn't this music getting the airplay it deserves? The fact is, Shania may have the body, but Wynonna has got the soul!!!
