The exceptionally talented Country artist Leann Rimes has released her CD entitled Twisted Angel. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Leann Rimes fans, and Country fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Twisted Angel Leann Rimes's artistic excellence is on full display as Rimes has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be her best work to date.
Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Twisted Angel. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Twisted Angel has a nicely varied, mix of 13 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are her own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They're all here.
Twisted Angel is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It's quite simply great listening. A must buy for the Country fan.
While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 1 - Life Goes On, track 4 - Trouble With Goodbye, and track 12 - You Made Me Find Myself.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9 - Review My Kisses. Outstanding!
