Recorded at Woodland Digital, The Rec Room and Emerald Sound Studios, Nashville, Tennessee Patty Loveless won the 1996 Country Music Association Award for Female Vocalist Of The Year. THE TROUBLE WITH THE TRUTH was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. "The Trouble With The Truth" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. The neo-Nashville superstar lives up to her name on this collection of songs about broken romance and regret. Loveless gains points for adventurousness right off the bat by leading off with a cover of Richard Thompson's rollicking "Tear-Stained Letter" (although she inexplicably rewrites it to excise a reference to the Clash). The heartbreak train continues rolling, making stops at "She Drew A Broken Heart," Jim Lauderdale's "I Miss Who I Was With You" and several other tales of lovelorn despondency. Even statements of ostensible self-possession like "You Can Feel Bad" and "A Thousand Times A Day" betray a wistful sadness at their core. This is state-of-the-art Nashville country-pop, and, fittingly, it remained on the pop charts for most of 1996. It maintains the consistent standards Loveless has set with her previous releases. Her silken voice and tasteful interpretive abilities remain undiminished. Editorial Reviews Entertainment Weekly (02/02/1996) | Find errors in the product description?

Review created: 03/12/00 by: scbelle -- a member of Epinions Pros: Great Country Sound Cons: A CD that is hard to top This is the CD which made me fall in love with Patty Loveless's old country sound. I can relate to each of these songs on this CD. I like this 4 year old CD even moreso than her more recent. The Trouble With The Truth Artist: Patty Loveless Released Date: January, 1996 Produced by: Emory Gordon, Jr. Record Label: Woodland Digital, Nashville, TN Songs and My Comments On Each: 1) Tear-Stained Letter Get up and Boogy! This is a song about her making him cry and she don't care! 2) The Trouble With The Truth Same old same old. She keeps having the same problems over and over again. She needs to hear the truth, but she knows it is just a rehash of what she already knows. 3) I Miss Who I Was (With You) Sometimes it is best to be naive, better not to know than to know. Makes life simplier. 4) Everything's Equal In The Eyes Of Love Love is an Equal Opportunity for all...Doesn't matter who you are, Rough and Tough or Sweet and Innocent...White or Black...Love is Love! It is an emotion we all feel. Toe Tapping Tune! 5) Lonely Too Long A song about two people fulfilling each other's needs, if only for a night. It may not have been right, but it felt right at the time. My favorite on this CD. 6) You Can Feel Bad A cold hearted woman shines through in this song. He is leaving and she gets high on the thought of him feeling bad about leaving her...but she doesn't feel bad at all or does she? Is she trying to convince herself? 7) A Thousand Times A Day Love the play of words of this hit. I love the way she tries to tells us that she is NOT hurting from a love lost. Great Old Country Sound! 8) She Drew A Broken Heart Ruined Sheets makes up for the wasted lipstick in this broken hearted tale. 9) To Feel That Way At All This songs makes me cry every time I hear it. It is slow, tender song about a love from yesterday. 10) Someday I Will Lead The Parade A real tear jerking song. It is sad to think most people will only lead the parade at their own funeral. Unfortunately, as we live our lives we tend to remember the things other's do wrong, rather than what they do well. Only at one's funeral are they remembered for all the good things. Overall Rating=Great CD! Patty Loveless at her best! Review ID: 10000000000245961 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating. Links in this review may have been removed. |
