 Good Album And a Glass of Wine October 18, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
LeAnn Rimes is my favourite country singer and I'm always very happy when she makes a country album. I think she has three classic country albums..."Blue", "This Woman", and now "Family". LeAnn Rimes has an unbelievable voice! Her voice is so pure, and the best example of her voice we get by listening to songs like "One Day Too Long" and "Family". It's always great to hear an album that can be listened to through withouth breaks. This is that kind of album as also "Blue" and "This Woman". This album is quite relaxing...just like a "Good Friend And a Glass of Wine" song/situation. This album is a country album but there's some rock elements in a couple of songs (The Title Track and "Upper Hand"). I guess this album is much like "This Woman" album but still even more relaxing. I'm sure that all the LeAnn Rimes will love this album.

I'm such a country tyro, I don't know the littlest thing about the genre. However, I have a taste for amazing talent and I know what I like, and I absolutely adore her voice and delivery. Her songs range from good to stunning. She hooked me with the Dionne Warren penned "Can't Fight the Moonlight" clearly a brilliant piece of pop perfection and impressed with with the European hit "Written In The Stars" with Elton John. I had the chance to hear her last album, and now, needless to say, I've been convinced!! There's something so utterly appealing about her! A great album, a wonderful artist, and by the way,"One Day Too Long" is an absolute show stopper of a song. Worth checking this gal out.
Family is her best work to date November 1, 2007

I can't believe it has been almost 12 years since Ms. Rimes come onto the music scene with BLUE. Now, at 25, she has a lot of powerful emotions experiences to showcase on this--her tenth album. On the title track, she wrote and sang about the true-story of what happened to her family during her time of raising stardom. NBTD answers us the "what-if" question of what would happen if she stayed in Mississippi. In other words, what if she never got out of that state. Other great tracks are; Fight, Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine (good one to sing with your friends) I Want You With You (an amazingly beautiful love song about her husband); Doesn't Everybody and the emotional, yet sentimential ballad "What I Can Not Change."
The bonus tracks are good too, but my favorite one is "When You Love Someone Like That." Reba McEntire and LeAnn's voice blend so perfectly together it's scarey.
All in all, this album brings out the best in LeAnn as a gifted singer and songwriter. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM TO ANY LEANN FAN OR ANYONE WHO JUST LOVES GREAT MUSIC!! Basically, if this album doesn't go platinum by the end of 2008--it will surely be considered a crime in my eyes. I think that says it all about her new "best" album to date.

For her second country album after her image hurting Twisted Angel (which i liked) She's gotten a harder rock edge to her country image. She writes on all the songs except the two bonus tracks. Of which "till we ain't strangers anymore" it's absolutely crappy! I can't handle Bon Jovi going country to sell more records and it's a stupid song. i just don't like anything about it.
Her duet with Reba is awesome though. they really sound great together and it's a great melody.
The songs that she writes with Her Husband Dean are the best tracks on here. Lots of them aren't bad..they just aren't memorable, or interesting meolodies. BUt as an album i think she does things more stylistically than This Woman, which was a bunch of boring sappy ballads.
it's like all her wounds are exposed on album and it's very revealing.
Family, Nothin' Better to do, Pretty things, One day too long, Upperhand and What i cannot change are the stand out tracks.
What this album really shows is that LeAnn is growing as a songwriter and though there are bumps in the road she is getting better and all her hits show promise for what's to come.
