5.0 out of 5 stars WYNONNA At Her Best, August 5, 2003

GOSH!! WOW!! What can I say? This CD is excellent and is filled with great country tunes from the one and only, WYNONNA!!! Each and every song has it's own meaning Wynonna style and Wynonna sings them all perfectly!! I see a lot of radio material here with this CD!!! It would be hard to just pick one favorite within this Wynonna collection. This has to be Wy's best CD as it purely shines through with each and every track. "I Want To Know What Love Is" is breathtaking on this remake; the best remake I've ever heard! Wy's current smash single, "What The World Needs Now" truly represents the current times of the world! "Sometimes I Feel Like Elvis" pulls at your heart stings and makes you think how important LOVE is in this world and without it, nothing else measures up! "No One's Gonna Break Me Down" brings out the sassy Wynonna as she gears up for some stompin' good times on this CD as well as all the other foot-stomping, heart tugging songs. My favorite I guess would be, "Your Day Will Come," a great radio, up tempo song...I love it!! Wynonna has truly poured her heart and soul into this CD and it shows BRIGHT!!!! Perfect in every way!!! Thanks Wy, for another fabulous collection!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Without a doubt-her best solo album to date, August 9, 2003

By

This review is from: What The World Needs Now Is Love (Audio CD)

I'm a huge Wy fan and I can find songs on each one her cd's that I love but this is the first cd where I can't pick out a favorite song. I love them all. They are all PERFECT. Wynonna delivers each song in it's own special way-whether it's rock, country, gospel or pop. Don't take my word for it-get yourself a copy or read some of the music site reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars What the World Needs Now is this 'Breath of Fresh Air' CD!!, August 5, 2003

I think I have to agree with Billboard magazine: This is, so far this year, hands-down the best CD released in 2003!! Nashville's power-house vocalist, Wynonna, returns with a huge bang with some of the best material of her career. These songs highlight this mega-star's magnificent pipes better than anything she has recorded before. The strength of the songwriting here is incredible and absolutely touching at the same time. With Faith Hill's producer behind the wheel, Wynonna is given a release that brilliantly showcases her talent; and hopefully many new soon-to-be-fans will realize what a great artist she is and always has been. There is no voice in Nashville that can compare to her vocal talent, in range or in intensity. The instrumentation here is probably the best of her career.

This CD is like a little gift from heaven to all of us - the lyrics bring us happiness, joy, acceptance, love, self-esteem, and inner strength - which is exactly what Wy wanted in this release.

Oh my gosh, how can you pick the best songs on this CD? They are all incredibly awesome, and that's a phrase I don't throw around lightly when critiquing CDs!! I never in my wildest dreams thought Wynonna could outdo all her previous efforts with this CD!!

I was really blown away by her live performance of "What the World Needs Now" on the Academy of Country Music Awards back in May. It is such an uplifting song and yet has a very refreshing sound. The CD version of the song is good and retains that refreshing sound, but I have to say those of you who missed the live performance missed a phenomenal acoustical interpretation!! She got one of the loudest shouts of praise and claps of the whole night of performances.

If Wy has ever recorded a gem of a ballad - it is this one, "Heaven Help Me". You just have to hear it. I sincerely hope this song becomes a huge hit for her!

"It All Comes Down to Love" is a great, fun song about how media moguls seem to `have the answer to all our problems', but really love and acceptance are the answers. The song says, `Talking heads talking to us on the television, silver screen preachers and politicians, say they got the answer - first they gotta squeeze us, send a little money - there's tax on Jesus'... and.... `It's just a cheap thrill when you're looking for the answer'.

It was a pleasant surprise to hear mama Naomi helping out Wy on the old-time song "Flies on the Butter"....

"Sometimes I Feel Like Elvis" is about a woman who loses her husband... `What am I supposed to do with this house and these cars, All this so called success the good Lord's given me, I'd gladly give it all away right now, Just to see you walk through that gate, Up the drive and back to the simple we used to be, Before the money and the lawyers and the lies and the chains, and all this fame'. This is a very good song!!

"I Will Be" is an assertive, self-esteem booster as the chorus says, "I will be here, I will be strong, I'll face my fears, when the night is long, and still go on, I will be brave, I will be bold, follow my faith, to a higher road, and I'm not there yet, but I will be!"

"Rescue Me" is a touching song by Katie Darnell, who lost her battle with brain cancer recently and wrote this song herself, `What do you do when the path leads nowhere, when you need someone to be there, now you're afraid of what's gonna come, and now there's nowhere to run, I love Thee, Rescue me, shine your light lead me home, Lord all I need is your love." Another incredible song.

You have to look pretty hard to find any song on this release that is sub-standard - everything here is such a breath of fresh air to country radio and even pop radio for that matter. I never dreamed this CD would be her best-to-date, but it is. You gotta own this CD... it is everything we have come to expect from Wynonna and so much more!!
