Real Live Woman finds Trisha Yearwood fully embracing the inner soft-rocker she's flirted with for years, and so it makes sense that it's the most fully realized album of her career. Her Cali-rock jones gets a fix here thanks to a Linda Ronstadt cover ("Try Me Again") and a guest shot by Jackson Browne on "Sad Eyes," a Los Angeles-era Springsteen number, but the voice remains hers--a modern-day country girl who's been uptown and likes it. The result is an album that finds the middle ground between the sonic options won for country radio by the Dixie Chicks, the adult-contemporary blues of Wynnona and Bonnie Raitt, and perhaps even, amazingly, a bit of Garth's Chris Gaines project. The title track's the real keeper, a country-soul anthem that revisits the character Yearwood first introduced in songs like "She's in Love with the Boy" and "XXX's and OOO's" and finds her a good deal wiser now--and feeling blessed to know it. --David Cantwell

Customer Reviews:

a big let down.......2007-06-22

This cd really didn't have any notable songs on it. A couple of the songs had basically the same tune as some of her newer ones, such as Jasper County Line. She didn't really use her vocals like she is capable of doing. Was disappointed all the way around with this cd.

Trisha as good as ever.......2005-07-08

Like so much of the music recorded in Nashville, this album mixes pop and rock with country. It won't please purists who only like traditional country but it is a brilliant example of contemporary country music. Several great singer-songwriters contributed songs for this album, some being original while others are covers. Many of the songs are ballads but there is plenty of variety here.

The set opens with Where are you now, written by Mary Chapin Carpenter and Kim Richey who lend their considerable vocal talents to the track by providing harmony vocals. Next is One love, written by three co-writers including Kimmie Rhodes, a singer-songwriter who is highly rated by those familiar with her music but who has never achieved the level of success that she deserves. The third song here, Sad eyes, is by Bruce Springsteen, whose songs have been covered by several country singers. Trisha's chosen song from his catalog suits her ideally with Jackson Browne on harmony vocals.. The oldest song here is Try me again, a cover of a seventies song by Linda Ronstadt and Andrew Gold. Almost as old is Wild for you baby, but this is a song that I hadn't heard before I bought this album.

The title track is by Bobby Cryner who recorded two albums on major labels in the nineties but failed to get airplay on American country radio stations. If she can't record her own songs, at least it's great to hear this song recorded by Trisha. Matraca Berg recorded three albums of her own but has had far greater success as a songwriter. Here, Matraca co-wrote three songs - Come back when it ain't raining (her co-writer on this one was Harlan Howard), I'm still alive and When a a love song sings the blues.

This album, recorded nearly ten years after Trisha made her debut with She's in love with the boy, finds Trisha still in top form and able to adapt to changing musical trents. All Trisha's fans should enjoy this album.

better and better every time..........2005-02-23

it seems that with every album yearwood records she gets better and better, and not only her voice, she takes her music to new and exiting places. this album is such a thrill to listen to. as she opens with the song "WHERE ARE YOU NOW", and brings us her version of Springsteens "SAD EYES", and other WONDERFUL SONGS like matraca berg and Harlan Howards "Come Back When It Ain't Rainin'"
and Matraca Berg and Ronnie Samosets "When A Love Song Sings The Blues". Every song is as great as the last, just when you think it can't posobly get any better, it does... this cd is worth a listen.

One of her best, if not her best album yet........2003-12-01

On Yearwood's 2000 album REAL LIVE WOMAN, we find her in a more reflective mood. 1998's WHERE YOUR ROAD LEADS was very crossover country, this brings her back into a more folk atmosphere that is more gritty and raw in terms of sound and production than its predessor. There was only two singles on here, the title track and the opening "Where Are You Now". The title track was a mild hit that resonated with listeners, especially females. The song explains that she might not be a movie star, or not the perfect size, but she's ok with who she is. She does an inspired cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Sad Eyes". "Some Days" is a very sad, but real, ballad. Same goes for "I Did". She also does a great cover of Linda Ronstadt's "Try Me Again". Other standout ballads include "Wild For You Baby", "I'm Still Alive" and "When A Love Song Sings The Blues". There isn't much uptempo to be found here, but it's ok. This is just a great emotional album from one of the most talented vocalists in country music.

Amazing Album.......2003-01-17

With all of the overwrought, overproduced material coming out of Nashville these days, it's incredibly refreshing to find an artist who is committed to making good music. Yearwood isn't traditional country by any stretch of the imagination: in some ways, she's even more pop than Faith Hill or Shania Twain in that she has a really diverse set of musical influences, all of which show up here. But Trisha is country by virtue of her ability to sing like she's living a song, and make the listener live it too.

Trisha has some amazing pipes, as she shows in "Where Are You Now," but she's so comfortable with her own voice and the incredible material that she lets the songs and the arrangements do the talking. The most affecting track for me is "Some Days," an incredible showcase for Yearwood's interpretative skills and Dan Dugmore's dobro. Her cover of "Sad Eyes" is so achingly sad and yearning that she can stop a listener in his/her tracks. "Too Bad You're No Good" is a refreshing change of pace, and Emmylou Harris really rips up the song with Yearwood. "I'm Still Alive" is surprisingly triumphant and shows a spark of tongue-in-cheek humor.

Unlike Faith Hill or Shania Twain, more bent on Cover Girl glamor or astronomical sales (and generally both), Yearwood seems comfortable in her niche, particularly in her bare-bones rendition of "Real Live Woman." And unlike phenoms like LeAnn Rimes or Lila McCann, she's lived life and is mature enough to sing about the "real stuff" without sounding out of depth or genre.

This is probably the strongest of Trisha's efforts, although she's made some pretty fantastic albums over the length of her career. I'm looking forward to more great stuff!
