Leann Rimes - Blue - Music & Performance - CD

The music and the response are certainly impressive, but who could have believed that this mature, richly textured voice could be emanating from a mere 13-year old. In fact, the version of "Blue" being played on radio all over the country was recorded when LeAnn was 12 years old. It is predicted that, despite her youth, LeAnn Rimes is one of the very few new artists in the genre that will stand out from the crowd. First single/video: "Blue." Other emphasis tracks include "Hurt Me" and "The Light in Your Eyes."

With this fabulous record that brought joy and fun to all avid listeners of country music, LeAnn Rimes arrived just in the nick of time, when country needed it most, amidst all the regulars of the scene such as Garth Brooks, Holly Dunn, etc. The record is a delightful free-for-all of sassy pick-me-up country that spells GOLD in many sorts of ways. Of course, the sleeper hit is "Blue," Rimes' radio-friendly airplay single that landed her a Grammy at the tender young age of 15. "Blue" -- both the song and the record as a whole -- certainly should and does affect listeners in a charismatic and lighthearted way. At the time, since she was still a teen herself, this collection of songs meant so much to Rimes and her adoring fans; it inspired thousands of teens then and continues to inspire them through to this day. Perhaps people of any age or style of interest will feel youthful again after a good listen and a half. This record of songs written by the best songwriters in country music served as a stepping stone for Rimes, and was deservedly a breakthrough album for the country music scene. ~ Shawn M.
