Old Friends New Memories

Country Music Magazine, Oct./Nov. '99
"On her third album Victoria Shaw takes matters into her own hands. She sounds all the better for it. The result is a bare simplicity that shows off the clarity of expression of her beautiful, bell-toned voice and her incisively modern songwriting."

Product Description:
Released on her own label Taffeta Records, the 14 song collection was produced by Jon Vezner (Kathy Mattea's husband and a brilliant songwriter in his own right). As expected the collection includes Victoria's hit songs as a writer such as, " The River" and "She's Every Woman" written with Garth Brooks, and "I love The Way You Love Me," written with Chuck Cannon and recorded by John Michael Montgomery and boyzone. This CD also includes the song "Too Busy Being In Love" plus 10 other songs that are just as good and very well worth listening to.

Customer Reviews:

Outstanding songwriter, lovely singer too.......2002-07-13

On this album (Victoria's third) you can hear four songs which went number one on the country charts for other singers, but all of them written by Victoria in collaboration with others. Like Matraca Berg, Victoria seems destined to be remembered just as a songwriter. Both have lovely voices and sing like angels, but when they were on major labels, their own records failed to make the upper chart positions required.

So, the famous songs here are The river (Garth Brooks), Too busy being in love (Doug Stone), She's every woman (Garth Brooks) and I love the way you love me (John Michael Montgomery, also a British pop hit for Boyzone). The Garth hits were jointly written by Victoria and Garth.

Yet these are not the only songs worth hearing. Waikiki cowboy also won a songwriter's award and it would not surprise me if it or one of the other songs here eventually joins the list of famous songs written by Victoria, who has also had other songs (not featured on this CD) recorded by several of country music's top names.

With royalties from her songwriting, Victoria does not need success as a singer, but she is every bit as good as many of those who are successful singers.

Loved every song and old memory.......1999-09-30

I have all of Victoria Shaw's previous releases and she is not only a great songwriter but a great entertainer as well. Her strong vocals make this a pleasure from beginning to end. Some you'll remember as being big hits for other artists. She is incredible and I am so glad she continues to make good music.
