From Amazon.com
Trisha Yearwood ended up in the middle of one of 1997's music-industry storms when her version of the big ballad "How Do I Live" aced out teenage sensation LeAnn Rimes' on the soundtrack of Con Air, an action flick everyone immediately forgot about. Also somewhat lost in the commotion was Yearwood's own honorable half-decade-plus of hits, so many that some of her best (like a masterful version of Melissa Etheridge's "You Can Sleep While I Drive") didn't make it to this roundup of singles. That's OK; there'll be another. And for now, Songbook honorably recapitulates the career so far of one of current country's most-reliables. --Byline

Customer Reviews

A brilliant collection
Trisha Yearwood, at her best, is the finest of all contemporary country singers. This compilation contains many of the songs that established her as a major star, beginning with She's in love the boy – a song that enabled Trisha to become one of the few ladies in the history of country music to top the country chart with their first single.

Trisha's other country number one hits featured here are Thinking about you and An American girl (X's and O's). Many of the other songs were country top ten hits for Trisha. How do I live didn't – it was LeAnn Rimes who had the hit (she also had a big UK pop hit with the song) – but Trisha's version was a big hit in some countries around the world, as well as being a minor UK hit. I love both versions of the song but I slightly prefer Trisha's version to LeAnn's. Really, there's not much to choose between them.

One of my particular favorites is The song remembers when – about how you remember particular events in your life when you hear a particular song. There are many other fine songs including Wrong side of Memphis, Walkaway Joe, The woman before me and a duet with Garth Brooks (In another's eyes).

This American edition contains only 12 tracks. The European edition (which I have) contains five bonus tracks as well as all these 12. As long as the European edition is available, there is no advantage in buying this import.

An Absolute classic - not to be missed
How can one albulm, make you cry, laugh and love all at the one time. A collection of some of the most beautifully composed, written and sung songs of the century. If Trisha Yearwood is new to you -this is where you should start - where have you been?
