The Farr Side: Rimes returns, with big boots to fill

Rimes objective "was to make classic songs sound more contemporary, but does not diminish the original appeal of the song. I think she succeeded.

It is difficult to choose a favorite, but the most obvious are "Wasted Days & Wasted Nights" (Freddy Fender), "I can be myself" (Merle Haggard) and "A Good Hearted Woman" (Waylon Jennings) .

Rimes also covers "When I Call Your Name" by Vince Gill, executive producer of the album. I was not too excited about that because I think that Gill has this track.It is ambitious, too, to cover George Jones "He stopped loving her today." Again, it made me want to hear the real thing.

The moment of glory, however, belongs to Kris Kristofferson "Help Me Make It Through The Night." I think this track is Rimes in the race for some countries Grammy nominations for best female vocal.

LeAnn Rimes Pays Homage to Classic Country on 'Lady and Gentlemen'

All of these huge hits we are taking to a new generation of people and carrying on the legacy of people like Freddy Fender and Merle Haggard. I think that's kind of cool, too. Some of these songs are completely new to a lot of people.

LeAnn Rimes' New CD: 'Lady and Gentlemen' is Classic Country ...

Label: Curb

Maybe everyone can pause for a moment in their fascination with life LeAnn Rimes "and to consider again the voice that made her so famous in the first place. Hopefully. It's not easy to understand exactly why LeAnn possible disorders of eating, his sensational divorce or new marriage is so captivating for the media. Maybe his new album, Madam, gentlemen, because it essentially comprises covers of classic country songs written by (and for) men. (The title has nothing to do with his relationship with more than one guy at a time.) Of course, there is one other cover of a song made famous by a woman - ". Blue" LeAnn his own 1996 debut smash I guess justifies the "Lady" in the title.

The album is probably not going to win many new fans or LeAnn young, but his loyal fans will love the chance to hear these classic songs sung by one of the clearest, most passionate voices around. This does not mean that young fans will not find anything useful here, the future of country music much depends on the appreciation of the tradition that the great genre to begin with.Among the highlights of the album: Merle Haggard "The Bottle Let Me Down", Kris Kristofferson, "Help Me Make It Through the Night," Freddy Fender "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" and George Jones "He stopped the to love today. "

LeAnn took songs associated with some of the most famous of the country and she has customized. His reinterpretations are full of imagination, which allows some of the songs (especially ballads) to be heard again.We could hear Vince Gill sing "When I Call Your Name" and dwell on the idea that this song comes from the perspective exact opposite of where it was supposed to be in its bursting. I prefer to just enjoy the song.

With the twelve classic on the album, there are two new songs: "Crazy" and "Give." Even in these tracks, we propose the aesthetics of classic country, less emphasis on production and more emphasis on the purity of the song ... less emphasis on vocal histrionics and the phrasing and emotional honesty.
