Strong But Incomplete

"Lorrie Morgan was one of the more popular female artists during country's early-to-mid-nineties heyday, though she never quite reached the level of fellow artists Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood or later, Shania Twain or Faith Hill. The blame seems to lie not nearly as much with the music as the offstage drama that seemed to constantly accompany her. Which is a shame, considering that Morgan's voice had alot of the country elements found in classic singers like Tammy Wynette--Patty Loveless and Lee Ann Womack are the only other contemporary females who have that decidedly "country" sound in their vocal work. That said, this first compilation squanders some opportunities--several of her first-rate singles are here('Five Minutes','Something in Red'), and she recorded the best Wynette song not recorded by Wynette in 'A Picture Of You(Without Me)'. But there's also several omissions, chiefly the superb 'Out Of Your Shoes' and the equally great 'We Both Walk'. And of the three new tracks, only 'Standing Tall' is in direct correlation with Morgan's talents--both 'I Didn't Know My Own Strength' and the shuffling 'Back In Your Arms Again' squander her vocal skills. Overall, the preponderance of strong material manages to offset the lesser songs and the set's incomplete nature."

An outstanding set of music

"All of the songs are top notch including the new ones: "Standing Tall", "I Didn't Know My Own Strength", and "Back In Your Arms Again". There is even a song that she duets with late husband Keith Whitley, "Til' A Teardrop Becomes A Rose". You won't go wrong with this set of fabulous music."
