Product Description

Sounding remarkably like Patsy Cline, LeAnn Rimes's voice slices into each song like a hot knife through butter. At the age of 13, Rimes became country's brightest new star upon the release of this impressive debut. Her balanced blend of traditional and new country owes as much to Cline as it does 1990s' style. "Cattle Call," a duet with the legendary Eddy Arnold, is just one of the many highlights on this album. Attention is focused on Rimes's distinctive booming vocals, as opposed to some snappy chops--musically, it all sounds familiar, like you have heard this before. Still, there are moments where you feel this could not be the voice of a child. As she matures, so will her feelings and presumably her songs. --Paula Ghergia

When I heard LeAnn Rimes very first #1 hit song "Blue" the first time, I told myself who is that girl with a lovely crystal clear voice she almost sounds like Patsy Cline for and a little bit Connie Francis. I feel in love with that song the very first time when it hit airwaves on the radio worldwide-LeAnn Rimes is a Texas starlett. She is very very beautiful very beautiful not her voice but, rather, I'm talking about her appearance in the she looks-she is very beautiful. She is the young Patsy Cline and Connie Francis. I give the whole songs on the tracks a score-20.

Wow, this album blew me away. I am in awe of LeAnn's vocal talent. This girl has IT. This album is an unbelieveable work perfectly well-crafted to suit her voice.
What she can do with her voice is amazing, as she proves in the title song "Blue." "Hurt Me" is a painful ballad, and LeAnn delivers all the emotion of that song with her voice; the drawl she sings with expresses the lyrics precisely. "My Baby" is a mature song far beyond her 13 years but she handles that song like an experienced adult. I'm also impressed by her ability to sing softly and be convincing at it, which she is in "Honestly," "I'll Get Even with You," and "Fade to Blue."
No wonder LeAnn became a superstar with this album. This album is incredible. The songs are perfect for her voice and LeAnn's extraordinary talent gives her the uncanny ability to bring justice to each song.

A fine start
This was LeAnn's first real album, and she was very young at the time; still, her voice is amazing. As is often the case with country singers, the material does not usually match... Read more
