If you find a copy of this now out of print CD, grab it!
It is a sleeper unfortunately overlooked because of either the novelty of being a country album or because of the term itself scares people away? Don't be scared! This is not your father's country as Tina belts out classics with all new arrangements Tina style that hardly resembles country at all.
Not to be confused with the 1973 album which was a joke, this version was done in 1999 after she was on her own as a international star with large orchestrations by studio musicians... which too are amazing. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5-stars is that there are only 9 songs with 3 music mixes of the same unaltered songs.
If you must overlook something about this album, let it be the title for you owe it to yourself to purchase a copy for your Tina collection. You won't regret it!
Seems almost like a punch line to a joke -Tina sings country- but man it's really good. Since she has become a public figure and icon,her singing prowess is forgotten. This is one of my favorite recordings by anyone- it is a hodgepodge of styles eras and her voice shines through-in the way of Ray Charles singing counrry or if Ozzy Osbourne sang Irish folk songs the voice sticks out, its a little off ,but really cool and listenable. aanndd FIVE BUCKs wow.
