5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice album, November 30, 2003
This review is from: Where Your Road Leads (Audio CD)
This album came off the heels of her successful SONGBOOK compilation from 1997. The first single "There Goes My Baby" was a big hit for Yearwood. She was on the top of her game at this point. Winning accolades from Nashville. Too bad it sort of ended here. This was her last truly successful album. She worked with Tony Brown as a producer on this one, giving it a more crisp, smooth production than past albums. The music leans a lot more to crossover than her previous albums have. Ballads once again are her strength, as evidenced on "Never Let You Go Again", "Love Wouldn't Lie To Me", and others. "Heart Like A Sad Song" is just that, a very sad song. "I Don't Wanna Be The One" is a nice emotional ballad. The title track is another duet with Garth Brooks, not quite as good as "In Another's Eyes", but still good. She manages a good cover of the Stones "Bring Me All Your Lovin". "I'll Still Love You More" was another hit from the album, a nice Diane Warren ballad. Another highlight is the uptempo song "Wouldn't Any Woman". Overall a strong album start to finish.

AWESOME!!!!!, July 17, 1998

How to fit it all in 1,000 words is going to be tough!!! Being the avid Trisha fan as I am, or rather FANatic, could you expect anything LESS than 5 stars from me? Onto Trisha
This could be her best album to date, no lie. The emotion in this album, along with jaw-dropping vocal performances leaves you in utter and complete awe. Each song in itself a masterpiece and each song in itself stands on it own. No surprise considering she's the best voice in "today's country music", and she has such talent finding songs with lyrics that SAY SOMETHING. That have a purpose.
With most albums there are one or two songs that you dislike, or that you simply like. Every song on the album is something that reaches to your very core and you love through and through.
Beautiful ballads such as "Never Let You Go Again" just makes you sigh, or "Love Wouldn't Lie To Me" that just breaks your heart. One of *my* favorites on the album, another ballad ! is "Heart Like A Sad Song" which could get the hardest-hearted person crying.
What I find most amazing on the album, is how although each song is diverse as it is, each album is so full of emotion. Nothing is half-..well yknow the rest.
For all of you wondering, yes there is a Diane Warren ballad on the album: "I'll Still Love You More" which seems to be a favorite among most of the people I know. With Diane Warren penning the song, I don't think you can go wrong anyhow.
Now what about those more blusy, rocking tunes?? well for that she's got "Powerful Thing", "That Ain't the Way I Heard It," "Wouldn't Any Woman," and "Bring Me All Your Loving." "Wouldn't Any Woman" is among my favorites, because of the lines: "I've loved you to the limits of my self-respect/Now I'm leaving with what's left/Wouldn't any woman."
Now, I know most of you are wondering about "Where Your Road Leads"! the title cut, which also happens to be a FANTABULOUS duet! with Garth Brooks. It is written by Victoria Shaw and Desmond Child, Victoria co-wrote "The River."
What else? Well there's a Carole King/Paul Brady tune called "I Don't Wanna Be The One" with one of the most outstanding vocal performances I'VE EVER HEARD.
If you don't get this album, you're nuts. Pure and simple. Sorry but it's true. It's an album that just grabs you and won't let go. The emotion in her voice, and the depth of her music can only be described as magic. The best album of the year. Period.

Smooth and Classy!!!, October 17, 2001
This review is from: Where Your Road Leads (Audio CD)
"It's a powerful thing, more than three words and a diamond ring, it can open up the heavens, make the angels sing. Our love baby is a powerful thing." WHERE YOUR ROAD LEADS is a powerful CD featuring the hits "There Goes My Baby" and "I'll Still Love You More." "Love Wouldn't Lie To Me" is a beautiful but melancholy tune and "Wouldn't Any Woman," "Heart Like A Sad Song," and "I Don't Want to Be The One" are terrific cuts. The CD also features a duet with Garth Brooks, the title song, "Where Your Heart Leads." Lyrics are included on the inserts.
