Traditional country with a contemporary edge

LeAnn's career has been varied and it is Certainly unlikely thatmany people will love everything she's recorded. This Particular album which the first to be released (but not her earliest recordings) and is definitely one for traditional country fans. The music is kept simple. Although a lot of different musicians are credited, I suspect this Merely reflects different line-ups at different recording sessions. The only instruments are credited acoustic guitar, electric guitar, steel guitar, fiddle, drums, harmonica and keyboards - this is about as country as you get these days on a major label.
On the opening title track in Particular, LeAnn sounds like Patsy Cline, Whose influence is clear Throughout the album. As far as I know, all the songs are originals except for Cattle Call, originally a country hit for Eddy Arnold, who puts in at appearance here as duet partner. All the songs are excellent and LeAnn's performances are impeccable.

This is different from most of Leann's albums so, Regardless of what you think about LeAnn \ s later music, if you enjoy traditional country, but if not buy this, save your money and buy something more suitable instead.
