...take on the country standard Blue Moon of Kentucky comes across as fresh and bracing as cold well water, and her version of I Will Always Love You is equally crisp and bright. On every track, Rimes' voice resonates with a mellow center, vibrant edges and a steady glow of pure innocence...

And though his mind-set remains medieval, he demonstrates...
