Pam Takes Over the Reins
It continued her string of successes leading up to her Greatest Hits package the next year. Pam Tillis's self-produced All of this Love succeeds in being a more poignant, introspective, and mature effort than her previous albums. The material is good, and I love the subtlety of the production and also Pam's vocals in contrast to the overproduction of too many country artists.

"Deep Down" and "The River and the Highway" were the CD's hits, and I especially enjoyed the latter; it is touching and mournful, revealing a different, deeper side of Pam. As others have commented, "Mandolin Rain" was an inspired selection, perfect for inclusion on this disk. Who couldn't love "Betty's Got a Bass Boat" too? I'm deducting 1 star only because I don't love every song, but there's plenty of quality to recommend here. Pam Tillis is a true country artist, and this disk contributed much to her long and successful career.

One of her best.
This was one of her mid nineties offerings and continued her long line of truly talented songs. Pam Tillis is one of the lesser promoted, but extremely well known artists who emerged in the country/rock scene along the lines of Reba and the Judds. Soft voiced, but with a strong flavor, she sings from the heart and with this CD it shows. My personal favorite was Mandolin Rain, simply beautiful, it says everything you need to know.

I wish this cd got more appreciation
Her cover of Mandolin Rain is exquisite and the River and the Highway, as well as Tequila Mockingbird are superb as well. I really wish this cd had gotten the appreciation it deserved. I thought Betty Got A Bass Boat to be completely out of place, and is why I'm not giving the cd five stars. That said, Pam's voice shines on this album and it is well worth her talent and anyone's time to check out.

quality cd
However, it has turned out to be one of my favorite Pam Tillis cds. I like Pam Tillis and purchased this cd even though I didn't recognize the songs on it.

The Beginning Of The End?
It's hard to say where ALL OF THIS LOVE goes wrong--again her choice of singles is impeccable('Deep Down', 'It's Lonely Out There')and she includes another tongue-in-cheek novelty in the vein of 'Cleopatra,Queen Of Denial'('Betty's Got A Bassboat') that isn't half bad. After releasing three consecutive first-rate albums(including the career-defining SWEETHEART'S DANCE), Pam Tillis released the first of what would be three consecutive good but not great albums. But none of the ballads here match her previous bests('Spilled Perfume', 'In Between Dances'), and though her take on Bruce Hornsby's 'Mandolin Rain' is literally inspired, the rest of the set,like much of her recent work, is just the opposite--pretty, but uninspired.
