LeAnn Rimes

This is a collection of LeAnn Rimes's favorite country standards, plus one newly written hit, "Big Deal." Say what you will about this woman-child--yes, she really needs direction (the 11 remakes couldn't be more obvious choices) and a producer besides her dad. But she's slowly growing into her own style, which here falls somewhere between Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee, and Tammy Wynette. Especially Patsy. Her timing on "Crazy" is quirky enough to offset the ham-fisted arrangement, and she's not bad on "I Fall to Pieces," either; her efforts on "She's Got You," "Leavin' on Your Mind," and "Faded Love" (a Bob Wills song Cline cut) fall short. She also chooses "Your Cheatin' Heart" and "Lovesick Blues," two songs identified with Hank Williams that Cline recorded, and sings the latter like she knows what it means. The wanna-rock "Me and Bobby McGee" is a travesty, but at least she gets to act her age, sort of, on "Big Deal."

1982年出生于美国德州的LeAnn Rimes自小便对乡村乐产生兴趣，1996年发行首张专辑(US＃3 乡村+AC双料冠军)获得轰动。1999年10月 17岁的LeAnn发行第四张大碟，由她跟父亲Wilbur C. Rimes共同制作，这是一张翻唱专辑重新演绎许多乡村乐经典，颇获好评，登上Billboard专辑榜＃8 卖出一百万张拿到白金唱片

这张专辑除了Big Deal一首是她原唱以外 其他全都是翻唱 这对于她这个销量级别的歌手是很不寻常的 之前的专辑也有一些翻唱曲目 但这张占比简直过分了 尽管好听 但说明公司没在努力给她争取资源 这也导致了她在美国商业上一路滑坡 也很不利于她个人艺术形象的成熟
