A compilation demonstrating LeAnn's diversity

LeAnn Rimes has had an interesting career to say the least, with some of her albums being squarely Aimed at pop fans, others squarely Aimed at country music fans, while the rest are somewhere in between. People can make up Their Own Minds what they like best. This compilation, based on her greatest hits compilation American but with a couple of bonus remixes, has a bit of everything from LeAnn's early years to 2003, though it Mainly Focuses on LeAnn`s pop music.

Country fans the world over Became aware of LeAnn's talents as a result of her debut album in 1996. Represented here by two tracks (Blue, One way ticket). In 1997, LeAnn recorded How do I live. Trisha Yearwood So what persuaded to record the song and her version Became a number one country hit American, while making a token appearance in the British pop charts. LeAnn's version Became a huge American pop hit and made Eventually the top ten in the British pop charts (several months after Trisha`s version made its letter UK chart appearance). I do not think there's a lot to choose between the two versions (maybe Trisha`s version is slightly better), but Both of them had a lot of success with the song in different countries. With LeAnn's version making it into the pop charts but not the country charts, this thing some kind of signal did she should cater for pop fans as well as (or maybe instead of) country fans, Hence LeAnn's Subsequent recordings have oft veered towards pop music ,

In Britain, LeAnn had a number one hit with Can not Fight the Moonlight (from the soundtrack of Coyote Ugly) and a top ten hit duet with Elton John (Written in the Stars). So she came close to the top ten with two other hits (I Need You, Life goes on). All Of Those tracks are included here, along with her minor UK hits.

This compilation Provides a great introduction to LeAnn's music, though country music fans may be better to seek out one of her original albums of country material. If you enjoy country music but not pop music, you'll find only about four or five tracks here to your liking.
