This is the strongest out of Faith's 3 Pop/Country albums.This went on to sell 8 million copies!
It includes her hits The Way You Love Me(great catchy uptempo),If My Heart Had Wings, her big duet with hubby Tim McGraw Let's Make Love and the title track and her signature song Breathe,a great ballad that really shows off Faith's fantastic voice.
Other standouts are the uptempos What's In It For Me,I Got My Baby,and Love Is A Sweet Thing.

One Fair Summer Evening

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Nanci Griffith

Release Date March 19, 2007
I don't honestly think i've heard a better live acoustic album than this one. Everything is exactly where it should be. The fragile but expressive voice. The emotionally charged melodies and subject matter. The supremely accomplished, but subtle accompaniment of the Blue Moon Orchestra. Hell, even the one bum note she hits in 'wing and the wheel' just adds to the emotional honesty of this performance. Amongst her best albums, and probably the finest recorded live performance i've ever heard committed to compact disc.

Days Go By

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Keith Urban

Release Date May 30, 2005
I first heard Keith Urban when I went to my first of many Bryan Adams concerts. He was the support and I loved his music so much that when I returned home, at some ridiculous hour of the morning, went straight on the net and ordered this album. A couple of weeks later my 'concert' mates text me to say Keith was in concert and did I wanna go, my reply: hell yeah! I'm so hooked if the cover says 'Keith Urban' it's gotta be mine, cd or dvd! Between Keith and Bryan I can listen to them 24 hours a a day.

Hasten Down the Wind

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Linda Ronstadt

Release Date January 15, 2001
This is one of Linda Ronstadt's most polished albums, a collection of beautiful ballads and a couple of rockers. She introduced the world to Karla Bonoff with this album, and contrary to the review below, Linda Ronstadt was the FIRST to record these Karla Bonoff tunes-- they are not cover versions. HASTEN DOWN THE WIND was released in 1976. About a year later, Karla Bonoff released her first solo album and recorded her sparer version of these songs. Karla is well worth your time, but to hear the songs interpreted by one of the greatest singers of all time, you will need this album. Particularly noteworthy is Ronstadt's version of the Patsy Cline classic CRAZY, a slow, boozy, jazzy interpretation of this great country song.
