Not very good
I just couldn't get used to this album. . the singing wasn't as good as some of Leann's other albums. I like most of Leann's albums, but this album wasn't as good as some of the others. .


Rips your heart out!
They have such a somber and morose overtone that you somehow want to crawl through the speakers and comfort this aching soul. The Songs "Its Cryin time again","Shes got You" and "Crazy" are recorded with such passion coming from LeAnn Rimes that is just rips out your heart. This album is a collection of golden age country standards. Listening to this album transports you to its world from which it came. You can just hear these songs being played at some small diner jukebox in South Carolina in about 1958. Leanns voice is nothing short than amazing and she belts out these tunes with such power and feeling that it can actually compare with Patsy Cline or Loretta Lynn. I seriously recommend this album and for the low price there is no reason to pass it up. .


Don't Worry, This Isn't Her Best Album
The music style is mainly country through the album. I love LeAnn Rimes but this album is not as good as for example "Blue". There is a couple of very good songs: "Crazy", "Don't Worry", "Leavin' on Your Mind", "Big Deal", "Lovesick Blues", and a great Janis Joplin cover "Me And Bobby McGee". LeAnn Rimes has a beautiful voice and she uses it in a great way. This album isn't opened for most fans who like the album "I Need You". Still a great for those who like country and blues.
Stars: Big Deal, Lovesick Blues.


LeAnn
She has one of the most awesome voices I have ever heard!. I absolutely LOVE her work.


Big deal
The final track on this album just about says it all. . "big deal". On her previous album, LeAnn got the balance between pop and country just right, a mainstream sound for the non-hardcore fans, and enough "twang" to keep people like myself happy. But she was criticised for "going pop" on us. . . and this album is the result.

Unfortunately, it comprises some of the worst covers of "standards", otherwise known as "songs you've heard a million times before by other people" you'll ever hear. I was never a fan of Patsy Cline, but I'd rather listen to her version of "Crazy" than the one on here.

When I read the track listing before buying, I was really looking forward to hearing some modern recordings of all the old favourites. Unfortunately both LeAnn's performance and the arrangements leave much to be desired.

It's not all bad, however. The final track "Big Deal" is quite good. Interesting that it's the only new song on here.

Don't bother with this unless you're a hardcore LeAnn fan who wants to own all her albums. For a better all-rounder, pick up a copy of "Sittin' On Top Of The World" instead.
