Family

For her second country album after her image hurting Twisted Angel (which i liked) She's gotten a harder rock edge to her country image. She writes on all the songs except the two bonus tracks. Of which "till we ain't strangers anymore" it's absolutely crappy! I can't handle Bon Jovi going country to sell more records and it's a stupid song. i just don't like anything about it.
Her duet with Reba is awesome though. they really sound great together and it's a great melody.

The songs that she writes with Her Husband Dean are the best tracks on here. Lots of them aren't bad..they just aren't memorable, or interesting meolodies. BUt as an album i think she does things more stylistically than This Woman, which was a bunch of boring sappy ballads.
it's like all her wounds are exposed on album and it's very revealing.

Family, Nothin' Better to do, Pretty things, One day too long, Upperhand and What i cannot change are the stand out tracks.

What this album really shows is that LeAnn is growing as a songwriter and though there are bumps in the road she is getting better and all her hits show promise for what's to come.

This is her BEST album yet! I saw her live for the first time in Atlantic City which was her last show of her tour and she was FANTASTIC!! If you are a fan, you have to have this one.

LeeAnn Rimes is an excellent SINGER but she is a poor song writer. The lyrics are simple and the melodies and arrangements are boring and repetitive. Her early work was terrific, but this CD has been promoted way beyond its value. I recommend your buying Trisha Yearwood's new CD or Brad Paisley's latest for far superior songs, tunes and production.

Mature artist. Great music, arrangements and performance. I am looking forward to the next album by Leann Rimes. If she goes on like this, the result might be amazing.

For years I have enjoyed her country and easy listening style but her new album is very contemporary sounding. She has powerful voice with tremendous range and doesn't sacrifice her integrity just to be popular, you can acutally play her album with young children in the room.
