5.0 out of 5 stars Early Kathy Mattea - one of her best, October 11, 1999

By A Customer

We have most of Kathy Mattea's albums and have enjoyed her in concert twice. This is probably our favorite CD of hers. Simple, eloquent country songs sung by a great talent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Country Album with Kathy's Signature Song, January 11, 2004

By	Lori Patton (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

"Willow In The Wind" is one of Kathy Mattea's best albums and includes her signature song, "Where've You Been." Kathy has a very warm, expressive voice with beautiful tone and nowhere is this more evident than on this amazing song. "Where've You Been" is one of the finest country ballads written--right up there with "I Fall To Pieces"--and even though I've listened to it many times over the years, it is still as touching as the first time I heard it. Other highlights on this album are "Come From The Heart," "She Came From Fort Worth," and "True North."

If you buy only one of Kathy's albums, I would suggest her Collection of Hits, which I think is even better overall. However, I definitely recommend "Willow In The Wind" for the other songs not in her Collection. Kathy Mattea is one of the few country artists (Trisha Yearwood and Dolly Parton are others) where it is really worth exploring the full catalog of albums to find those hidden gems not included in the greatest hits compilations. If you are building a collection of Kathy's music, this CD is a great addition.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest voices in country, August 8, 2005

By	F. Mercer "bibliophile" (Phoenix, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kathy Mattea is unbelievably good! Her rich, expressive voice is soothing. This album includes "Where've You Been?" which has got to be one of the most beautiful songs written. It always brings a tear to my eye. Every song on this album is great. It is surprizing that more people haven't discovered Mattea. Her voice is like honey!
