This is Yearwood's first studio album in nearly four years and I couldn't wait to get this CD in my player. I was sure there would be at least one song from the multi-platinum, multiple Grammy award winning artist that would take my breath away; but, much to my dismay, there wasn't. Now, mind you, I'm not really complaining. The album is quite good from start to finish but I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't hoping for at least one emotional pull on par with "How Do I Live." Alas, the closest Yearwood comes on this CD is when she harmonizes with fiancé Garth Brooks on the heartrending "Georgia Rain." She gives her voice the biggest stretch on this track but the electricity that flew when they sang together on "In Another's Eyes" is barely evident on this go round. Despite that fact, this is one of my favorite tracks on the album and the song is still plenty good enough to get her back on the charts, and back on radio, where she has been sorely missed. Regardless of the lack of drama and vocal extensions, there is much to like about the over all album and Brooks isn't the only talented person who harmonizes with Yearwood. Beth Nielsen Chapman and Wes Hightower blend their voices nicely with hers on "Trying to Love You," a song co-written by Nielsen and Bill Lloyd; Leslie Satcher joins Hightower to bring the perfect harmony to "River of You," Jon Randall provides just the right vocal blend to compliment the entertaining harmonica and "leg slaps" delivered by Jessi Alexander on the toe-tappin', "Baby Don't You Let Go," and Ronnie Dunn delivers flawless vocal harmony on the chorus of "Try Me."

Trisha Yearwood's new CD has a real refreshing and rich sound to it, not as country as Patty Loveless, but a ton more than Faith Hill and her "FireFlies". Not one to love contemporary country, I found several songs that I liked on this CD and I thought it had some genuine country music to go with it, and some great story songs. "Georgia Rain" sounds sweet, "Try Me" is a song that pulled me in , loved the idea and her delivery. Also found "Pistol" and "Sweet Love" to be very good songs. If I could afford CDs, just might have bought it. Great review Cheryl

In
the October issue of Redbook magazine, Trisha Yearwood is quoted as
saying, "I'm just stupidly happy. I had no idea life could be like
this", and the joy she now has in her life just might be reflected
in her song selection on Jasper County, an album dedicated
to the county in Georgia where she grew up and the place she still calls
home.
