I haven't liked country music since I was 5 yrs-old so hearing that one of my favorite voices was heading in that direction, it was a little hard to get excited about it even though it has been something she's been itching to do for years. That said, ya can't deny that her voice was tailor-made for the earthy, bluesy heartbreak she's belting out on Rose Tattoo.
Tiffany has proven her versatility time and again by successfully recording pop, dance, rock, RnB, industrial and while she's had a flirtation with country already, this album is her first official foray into full-on country... and her pet project fits like a glove. She doesn't bring out the twang (fortunately) but this is solid, soulful, down home stuff and dammit, I actually wanted more! Eight songs seems an oddly slighted amount considering how passionate she was about this album. Nevertheless, leaving you wanting more is a good thing.
While I am happy she finally got her country album and have already listened to it three times, my fingers are crossed album #9 is the OTHER genre best-suited to her powerful, emotive pipes: ROCK!
