LeAnn Rimes, LeAnn Rimes - This Woman

A Terrific Return to Form by a True Country Diva

This Woman, a so-called "country comeback" for LeAnn Rimes, shines with diva-esque performances throughout. It includes an excellent mix of songs, some serious, some fun with lots of big production, which plays to her strengths. An established veteran at 22, she's finally coming into her own with the right career direction.

As for the songs: "I Want To With You" is a perfect choice for LeAnn, the material shows what she's capable of and is radio-friendly at the same time. "Nothin' Bout Love Makes Sense" is a little more traditional, perfect for country radio. I love "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way," a tender ballad delivered with her usual conviction. "Some People" really brings it home at the end. It is bluesy and sultry, displaying LeAnn's unique gift.

This CD is just what LeAnn needed in 2005, solid songs exhibiting her powerful and expressive voice as well as maturity. You don't have to love country music to enjoy this album; it is diverse, and her sheer talent shines in any musical style. I saw LeAnn in concert recently and loved her energy and vocals. You won't be disappointed by this record. August 5, 2008

LeAnn Rimes' This Woman is the best album yet!

LeAnn Rimes's This woman is a great album and it has a lot of heart filled songs even the discontinued Target exclusive bonus track called "Afraid to Fall" was good (written by LeAnn Rimes; Peter Amato; Trey Bruce) and if you want to hear it i have this url where you can download the song for free: www.leannrimesworld.zoomshare.com
All I can say is after Family I hope LeAnn can make us some more great music. July 12, 2008

Am I listening to the same album?

I am not sure I am listening to the same tracks as the other reviewers, but I keep hoping LeAnn will someday feel "it" again. This CD is a continuance of the modern country pop that has lots of everything but feeling. Remember the first time you heard "Blue"? You thought, I have to meet this woman, then you found out she was 13! What was in that song was feeling(and of course LeAnn's voice) Later, "These Arms of Mine"( I may be the only one that has heard this song) had the feeling again. It may take a few divorces and soap opera like situations for LeAnn to feel it all the way, but when she does the music industry may just stop for a while and be amazed. It is in there and it will come out someday........slickrick June 20, 2007

Glad to have her back

This is a good comeback album for LeAnn, back to the mainstream country that she does very well. Her voice is excellent, of course. The songs are fun and original. Well done. May 1, 2007

This Woman is LeAnn Rimes' return to country music

With 12 (13 with the Target Exlcusive Bonus Track "Afraid To Fall") new songs, LeAnn Rimes has made her return to the country music industry. With this being her 12th album with Curb Records, I think LeAnn Rimes has done an excellent job for 11 years of singing.

I hope LeAnn Rimes will keep coming out with more albums and keep making great music. March 7, 2007
