Description: After establishing herself as "the Linda Ronstadt of the '90s," Trisha Yearwood seems to be suffering from the sort of hackneyed production that undermined Ronstadt's career. Despite her impeccable vocal control, she barely finds room to breathe amid coproducer Mark Wright's cheesy bombast on the album-opening "Love Alone." The following cut and first single, "I Would've Loved You Anyway," sounds like a Celine Dion ballad that got lost on the way to a movie soundtrack. Fortunately, Yearwood loosens up with the playful bite of Matraca Berg's "For a While" providing material worth sinking her teeth into, while vocal support from Vince Gill ("I Don't Paint Myself into Corners") and Buddy Miller ("Love Let Go") complements her subtle soulfulness. A sing-along with Rosanne Cash on a remake of the latter's "Seven Year Ache" adds little to the classic original, but neither does it subtract appreciably. The title track features Don Henley on a frisky duet that reprises his and Yearwood's "Walkaway Joe" pairing.

Tracklist of Inside Out
Reviews:
4 because...
1.) "Inside-Out" was originally writen and performed by Bryan Adams on 1998's "On A Day Like Today" album.
2.) The album otherwise is good.
3.) She's easy on the eyes.
4.) I recommend this.
Sad and Beautiful!
Tired of the Faiths and the Shanias? Welcome to Trisha's world! She is, hands down, the best country singer around these days. Not as promoted as others, but so much better...her voice is deep and sad and so beautiful! She puts so much emotion into everything - without ever sounding over the top - that she should be revered not only by country music lovers but by music lovers everywhere. If you're thinking of buying your first Trisha CD, go for the Songbook, a very good compilation. Otherwise, try Inside Out, a great blend of romantic (my favorite ones) and more upbeat songs, that will leave you dreaming. She takes her time in preparing a new release, but the next one is supposed to be great, since her longtime friend, country music legend Garth Brooks, is writing the songs with her. I can't wait!
yearwood-better and better
Again Yearwood has made a great album. and she keeps on growing and developing in her style. just as the album she made before this one, Real live Woman, she just keeps getting better and better. There are some true gems on this record; For a while, Seven year ache, I don't paint myself into corners, Iside out, Love let go and Love me or leave me alone. And the rest of the songs arn't that bad. and even though i don't like all of the songs as much as i love the once i've listed, i think those songs are so good that this record deserves 5 stars!
