Trisha Yearwood's fourth album leaves its often-spotty predecessors in the dust. After two lighter-weight opening tracks--the title cut and the smash "XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)," both of which topped the country charts--Yearwood settles into her moodiest set of songs yet. Most perfectly delivered is "You Can Sleep While I Drive"; here, Yearwood tones down the overkill of Melissa Etheridge's original to stress the lyrics' complex mesh of aching resignation. Similarly, "Those Words We Said" and her version of Tammy Wynette's "Till I Get It Right" are near-great vocal performances--not just on the technical side, but in the arena where the subtleties of true emotion meet topflight material. Even the requisite tough-girl offerings, "The Restless Kind" and "I Wanna Go Too Far," fit perfectly into this portrait of a smart, modern countrypolitan woman. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars My second favorite album by any artist of any genre!, March 29, 2000

By	Greg Gramza - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this album on a whim, persuaded by the many e-mails of one of my best friends. It turned out to be an awesome CD.

Up to that time, I had only heard the sing-a-long classic XXXs and OOOs. As you play this CD, you'll sing along with many of the tunes from the dreamy "Thinkin' About You" to the serene "Bus to St. Cloud". The one song that strikes me the most is "You Can Sleep While I Drive". It's well written and Trisha sings it better than any other song, I think.

If you're planning to add this to your collection, be prepared to replace this CD a few times as you'll burn it out from replaying some of the songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Song Tells A Story, November 17, 2001

By	Gennie Bailey (Savannah, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews

"Thinkin' About You" can honestly be labeled as Trisha's most emotional release to date. Trisha's vocals are immaculate and her choice in singles is downright brilliant. The songs on the album all tell a story and who better to tell them than such a talented artist. You can relate to every single, no matter who you are.

If you're in love and you want everyone to know, then you'll enjoy "Thinkin' About You".

If you're the adventurous type who doesn't want to be held down, "I Wanna Go Too Far" is right up your alley.

If you're like me and you want a moody-get-in-your-car-at-3am-to-drive-around-with-your-honey-and-not-know-where-you're-going-to-song, then the Melissa Etheridge penned "You Can Sleep While I Drive" is what you're begging to hear. It's one of her best recordings if you want my opinion.

Other highlights include "XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl), the haunting "On A Bus To St. Cloud", the cover of Tammy Wynettes's "Till I Get It Right", and "O Mexico".

If I could suggest just one Trisha Yearwood album to you, "Think' About You" is it. This is Trisha at her most country and most emotional and absolute best!

4.0 out of 5 stars Isn't this Linda Ronstadt????, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

If you close your eyes and listen to Trisha Yearwood's "Thinkin" About You", you would swear you were listening to a Linda Ronstadt album. It sounds so much like Linda in her 70's heyday, it's uncanny. And it's a better album then anything Linda has done since the 70's. There are some really good country/rock songs here, inclduing the title track, but three ballads are the real highlights. "On a Bus to St. Cloud" is very sad and touching, and "You Can Sleep While I Drive" is too pretty to believe it was written by the usually overwrought Melissa Etheridge. And "Til I Get It Right", an old Tammy Wynette song that closes the cd, is the most beautifully sung performance Trisha has ever done. This is much better then the follow up cd, "Everybody Knows", and the one Trisha Yearwood cd to get if you're only getting one.
