Country is back!, November 20, 1999
This is a great new album of fun country songs. When I first heard this, I thought LeAnn was an adult. What a surprise to find out she was my age! She is very talented and I think the songs are great! She is given country a great comeback and I think she did a very good job picking out songs. "Light in Your Eyes" is my favorite on the album, because I find it inspirational. "Blue" and "Cattle Call" are also some of my favorites. If you are a great country fan, or just discovering country for the first time, BUY THIS ALBUM!

Traditional country with a contemporary edge, October 30, 2004
LeAnn's career has certainly been varied and it is unlikely that many people will love everything she's recorded. This particular album was the first to be released (but not her earliest recordings) and is definitely one for traditional country fans. The music is kept simple. Although a lot of different musicians are credited, I suspect this merely reflects different line-ups at different recording sessions. The only instruments credited are acoustic guitar, electric guitar, steel guitar, fiddle, drums, harmonica and keyboards - this is about as country as you get these days on a major label.
On the opening title track in particular, LeAnn sounds like Patsy Cline, whose influence is clear throughout the album. As far as I know, all the songs are originals except for Cattle call, originally a country hit for Eddy Arnold, who puts in an appearance here as duet partner. All the songs are excellent and LeAnn's performances are impeccable.
This is different from most of Leann's albums so, regardless of what you think about LeAnn\s later music, if you enjoy traditional country, buy this but if not, save your money and buy something more suitable instead.

Amazing Voice!, June 5, 2002
Leann Rimes has an extradornary voice. She sings with such style and grace and does a good job of singing Patsy Cline's "Blue." That's the song that made me purchase this CD. With such a strong voice it's almost impossible not to be enchanted by her voice.With songs like Blue, Hurt Me, One Way Ticket (Because I Can), and The Light in Your Eyes you're automatically hooked~ My Baby is also a great song. Sure she's young and there have been controversal issues on if she was too young to sing a song this mature, I think she does an excellent job. Young or not! Honestly is a beautiful ballad thats filled with emotions and sang with such honesty and innocence. The other songs Talk To Me (Leann took part in the writing of this song), I'll Get Even With You, Good Lookin' Man, and Fade to Blue are all excellent too. Cattle Call (Duet with Eddy Arnold) was also a pleasure to listen to on this CD. This CD is enchanting! A great start for Leann and this CD shows how Leann started her very successful music career!
