Incredible for one so young

LeAnn was about 11 when these recordings were made, so she was still learning her craft. Even so, this is a fascinating collection that showcases her wonderful voice. Of the songs, there are five oldies, three of which are so well known that it is difficult to imagine that there is any adult in Britain or America who has not heard them countless times.I will always love you is Dolly Parton's classic song that eventually became Whitney Houston's biggest hit ever. Yesterday is the Beatles song that has been covered more times than any other pop song. Unchained melody was originally a hit for several singers in the fifties, but is perhaps most closely identified with the Righteous brothers. They had a hit with it in the sixties but an even bigger hit in 1990 when it was featured in the Ghost movie soundtrack. Blue moon of Kentucky is less famous than those three, but this Bill Monroe classic has been covered many times, including by Elvis Presley. The oldest song, I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart, on which LeAnn demonstrates her skills as a yodeller, was a million-seller for Patsy Montana in the thirties. LeAnn stamps her identity on all those oldies, but also shows her skills on contemporary material, including Share my love, a song she co-wrote. To my ears, this is a wonderful album. Of course, it's not quite up to the standard of her official debut album, but anybody who enjoys that may be surprised at just how good this is.

Wonderfully amazing!

I love this album because it shows LeAnn's growing voice through her singing years. In "Cowboy's Sweetheart" it shows off LeAnn's yodel. She sings "Broken Wing" and "Unchained Melody" beautiful. It was a #1 chart success, and it's a great CD!

LeAnn Rimes Rules!

This Album proves LeAnn had such a great voice even almost 4 years ago. I am LeAnn Rimes Biggest Fan. This album is the Best!

A vocal talent that will blow you away

This album is made up of songs recorded before "Blue" but released after. A prequel of sorts. Forget the fact that means these recordings were made by a pre-teen and you will still be floored by the pure vocal power of LeAnn Rimes. Trouble is there are few songs here to showcase the talent. Oh, she can belt out a standard with such ease and sincerity that you'll love it but give her a song that would challenge and her voice will take you to a level rarely reached. Priceless jewels here are "I Will Always Love You" and "Unchained Melody".

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
