"Lane Brody was (briefly) signed to a major label in the early eighties, but didn't establish herself as a country singer. As I remember it, there was one album of solo recordings, plus a duet with Johnny Lee which appeared on one of his albums. It is that duet (The yellow rose, actually a sensational cover of Yellow rose of Texas) which is what she is remembered for - quite rightly, as their rocking version is far superior to any of the traditional versions of the song.



This album includes new recordings of songs from back then, including Over you (Lane's best solo effort of the time) and The yellow rose, for which Lane got Johnny Lee back in the studio. It is many years since I heard the original, but the new version sounds very similar.



On her own, Lane seems to enjoy the slower songs, which include a great cover of Jim Croce's classic I'll have to say I love you in a song, plus many excellent songs that I don't recognise, some of which were written by Lane.



In case you're alarmed by re-recordings, this project was properly managed and financed by Lane and her husband and released on a small label, so this is not just any re-hash - indeed, I believe Lane sings even better than she did twenty years ago. Music this good deserves to be heard."

Lane Brody is simply amazing!!!

"This c.d. is simply amazing. She has an amazing voice and lets face it she can belt out a tune. My favorite songs on here are "All the unsung hero's" and "faster than the speed of love". She is an incredible artist. Well worth the money for this incredible cd. Waiting for her next album.
