Title: WHY TRISHA WHY?
Review: If like me you've bought Trisha Yearwood's past albums for the material with a Country connection - give this a good listen before you buy! The 'MOR Pop' alarm bells have gone off before with some of her work, but with this effort Trisha launches herself into pop/rock territory like never before, assisted by Mark Wright's full-on overblown production! It's not that the songs are bad - it's just the treatment they've been given. Many fans and Trisha herself might think that this is a bold experiment, but I think it's just plain boring. Had she stayed with Garth Fundis as Producer (as on her previous album), kept the strings to a minimum, and gone for a more spare sound, the whole thing could have turned out great. As it is, I've sold my copy and gone back to 'Real Live Woman'- now that's a good album.
Is the review positive or negative?
