Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Real Live Woman finds Trisha Yearwood fully embracing the inner soft-rocker she's flirted with for years and so it makes sense that it's the most fully realised album of her career. Her rock fixation gets a nod here thanks to a Linda Ronstadt cover ("Try Me Again") and a guest shot by Jackson Browne on "Sad Eyes", a Bruce Springsteen number, but the voice remains hers--a modern-day country girl who's been uptown and likes it. The result is an album that finds the middle ground between the sonic options won for country radio by the Dixie Chicks, the adult-contemporary blues of Bonnie Raitt and perhaps even a bit of Garth Brooks' Chris Gaines project. The title track is the real keeper, a country-soul anthem that revisits the character Yearwood first introduced in songs like "She's In Love With The Boy" and "XXX's And OOO's" and finds her a good deal wiser now--and feeling blessed to know it. --David Cantwell


CD Description

The last cut on Trisha Yearwood's ninth CD, REAL LIVE WOMAN, is called "When A Love Song Sings the Blues", and that's no coincidence. Drawing on stellar material from Matraca Berg, Linda Ronstadt, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kim Richey and evenBruce Springsteen, REAL LIVE WOMAN focuses on the downside of love, and Yearwood sings about it with the gut-wrenching emotion of someone who's definitely been there.
Though she brings in famous pals like Emmylou Harris and Jackson Browne to provide backing vocals, her own voice is the highlighthere. From the Bonnie Raitt shadings of bluesy numbers like"Some Days" and "Wild For You Baby", to the falsetto of "Sad Eyes", to the pleading tones of "Try Me Again", Yearwood simply sings rings around her country/pop compatriots. Other highlights include the gospel-y "One Love", the funny, rollicking "Too Bad You're No Good" and the chiming "Where Are You Now". But the title track is the real find: it's the down-home affirmation of an average woman who's at complete peacewith herself. "I offer no apologies/for the things that I believe and say", sings Yearwood. "And I like it that way". Like its title, REAL LIVE WOMAN is wise, sexy, earthy, strongand beautiful--and one of Yearwood's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trisha as good as ever, 20 Jul 2005
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Like so much of the music recorded in Nashville, this album mixes pop and rock with country. It won't please purists who only like traditional country but it is a brilliant example of contemporary country music. Several great singer-songwriters contributed songs for this album, some being original while others are covers. Many of the songs are ballads but there is plenty of variety here.

The set opens with Where are you now, written by Mary Chapin Carpenter and Kim Richey who lend their considerable vocal talents to the track by providing harmony vocals. Next is One love, written by three co-writers including Kimmie Rhodes, a singer-songwriter who is highly rated by those familiar with her music but who has never achieved the level of success that she deserves. The third song here, Sad eyes, is by Bruce Springsteen, whose songs have been covered by several country singers. Trisha's chosen song from his catalog suits her ideally with Jackson Browne on harmony vocals.. The oldest song here is Try me again, a cover of a seventies song by Linda Ronstadt and Andrew Gold. Almost as old is Wild for you baby, but this is a song that I hadn't heard before I bought this album.

The title track is by Bobby Cryner who recorded two albums on major labels in the nineties but failed to get airplay on American country radio stations. If she can't record her own songs, at least it's great to hear this song recorded by Trisha. Matraca Berg recorded three albums of her own but has had far greater success as a songwriter. Here, Matraca co-wrote three songs - Come back when it ain't raining (her co-writer on this one was Harlan Howard), I'm still alive and When a a love song sings the blues.

This album, recorded nearly ten years after Trisha made her debut with She's in love with the boy, finds Trisha still in top form and able to adapt to changing musical trents. All Trisha's fans should enjoy this album.

3.0 out of 5 stars A solid CD from one of the best female voices in country ., 4 Jun 2000
By Mr. Robert Bennett (Wirral, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With such a powerful and emotive voice any offering from Trisha Yearwood is almost bound to deserve a three star rating. If you couple this with the fact that the tracks on this CD have been written by such people as Mary Chapin Carpenter/Kim Richey, Bruce Springsteen, Bobbie Cryner and Matraca Berg then something special should result. However, it seems that Trisha Yearwood is having trouble repeating her 1995 classic "Thinking about you" and the CD seems lacking in passion. Everything is professional and her performance is as smooth as silk but it is very much a one-paced CD. Perhaps it will be a "grower" but having played it three times running today the tracks still seem to blend seamlessly into one another. Dont be put off buying this CD as Trisha Yearwood even if seemingly on auto-pilot is far better than most other offerings available at this time. I still feel there is a genuinely classic CD waiting to happen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chic country rock, 6 Jul 2001
'This is the album I have always wanted to make', read the sleevenotes by Trisha, and it's not hard to see why. This is a fine album by anyone's standards.

The first thing you notice is her magificent voice; as pure and as smooth as silk. She also draws on the best songwriting talent available; Mary Chapin Carpenter (Where Are You Now) and Bruce Springsteen (Sad Eyes) are two of the more famous names.

If this is 'new' country, it doesn't get any better than this; a wonderful voice, true and intricate production, fabulous melodies and great lyrics.

Listen to that slide guitar on 'Some Days' and die happy. Sing along to 'Too Bad You're No Good' with Trisha and Emmylou Harris. Wonder at Bruce's brilliant lyrics on 'Sad Eyes'; this album is a joy from beginning to end.
