Many fans missed Olivia's sweet flavoured country tunes,and were rejoiced with the arrival of Back With a Heart.The album did not disappoint and contains some great songs that are destined to become classics,my personnal favourites are "Love is a Gift"and the upbeat"Under My skin".Also noteable is a great Remake version of Olivia's first no 1 hit"I Honestly Love You"

By Peter Durward Harris #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
More than twenty years after Olivia abandoned country music for a full-blown career in pop music, Olivia recorded this one-off country album and surprised everybody by scoring a top ten country hit with the title track. Country music changed a lot during the intervening years so the sound of this album is noticeably different from Olivia's early albums, but it certainly falls within the contemporary country category. In her early days, Olivia rarely wrote her own material but this album features seven songs co-written by Olivia with a variety of collaborators including Victoria Shaw and Annie Roboff, two of Nashville's finest songwriters.

The album was recorded at four different recording studios with six different record producers, which makes for a varied album although, for the most part, it hangs together quite well. If you think that one or two songs sound as if they don't really belong, you know why. Among the producers, Don Cook was responsible for two tracks while John Farrar, Tony Brown and Gary Burr each produced two tracks. Chris Ferrer and David Foster both produced one track, the latter being responsible for the new version of I honestly love you.

There are plenty of great songs here although if I have to pich out highlights, I'll go for Precious love, Love is a gift, Don't say love and Back with a heart. This album will probably appeal more to those fans who (like me) prefer Olivia's early recordings than to those who like her best for Grease and Physical. While this is not as obviously country as Olivia's early recordings, it clearly falls within the ambit of contemporary country music.

Olivia Newton-John's return to country/pop in 1998 was marred by her promoting it at the same time as the re-release of 'Grease'. Olivia often spent so long dishing out the same old anecdotes about the 20 year old movie that her new album quite slipped her mind. Also, the only single released was a bland new version of her over familiar 1974 minor UK hit, 'I Honestly Love You'! No one could ever accuse Olivia of any kind of business savvy!

'Back With A Heart', though, is a very good album. Well up there with the best of her 70's stuff.

Olivia co-wrote 10 of these tracks and you'll be pleased to hear the songs are free of the cloying psycho-babble that dogged her previous album, 'Gaia'. For the most part these are love (well, lost love) songs which have always been her forte.

Highlights are the rocky title track, the sweet pop of 'I Don't Want To Say Goodnight' and the 2 John Farrar songs, 'Closer To Me' and 'Under My Skin'. In truth though, only 'Don't Say That' is a bit of a let-down, being very bland and much too long too.

Definitely the best album Olivia has made for 15 years, 'Back With A Heart' is well worth reappraisal in 2002.
