Summary: Idle Hands are Devil's Handwork!
Comment: I'll preface this by saying, I have spent a majority of my life shunning country music. Now those of you who have read my other reviews know about of my undying love for the Dixie Chicks and my like of Carrie Underwood. Yet, Miss Rimes has always left an unpleasant taste in my mouth, probably because of that sappy, godawful, "How Do I Live" song that made her famous and that you coudln't get away from in 1999.
Then I heard "Nothing Better to do" and my curiosity was piqued.
This chick has an AMAZING voice. I love this song! I love it so much I had to hear the whole album. It's pretty good too! Stand out songs for me are Good Friends and a Glass of Wine, Till We Aint Strangers, and of course Nothin Better to do.
For those of you who don't like this song because you can't understand the lyrics, buck up and doo a googlesearch for God's sake!
Hung my cotton dress on rusted wire
Up there on Pilahatchee Bridge
Just a crazy roughneck's daughter
Jumped head-first into the water
Baptized away my sins
Hitched to town with Bobby Jo and Tommy
Couple of lookers, new best friends
We slipped in the back of Sunday service
Know them church ladies, they heard us
Bum smoke money from the offering
Mama said, "Idle hands are Devil's handywork"
Oh, the trouble you'll get into
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do x2
Yea yea yea yea
Oh, yeah
Sign read: BAIT, CHIPS BEER and AMMUNITION
That Slim-Jim bag boy hadn't a prayer
Well I hiked my skirt and did the talkin'
While them boys were busy walkin'
Case of .5 out the back door
Hid deep in the Mississippi backwoods
We danced and played around 'til dark
Well I had them wrestlin' for my first kiss
Turned into a fight and they missed
Me speeding off in Tommy's car
Mama said, "Idle hands are Devil's handywork"
Oh, the trouble you'll get into
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
Yea yea yea yea
Nobody hurt, nobody harmed
Nobody's busines but my own
Mama said, "Idle hands are Devil's handwork
Oh, the trouble you'll get into!"
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, got nothin' better to do
yea yea yea yea
Oh, yeah
Got nothin' better to do, babe
Got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do, babe
Ya got nothin' better to do, no no
Got nothin' better to do!
Ya got nothin' better to do, no no
Got nothin' better to do!
You got nothin' better to do, no no!

Summary: Blue or This Woman was better.
Comment: LeAnn Rimes' "Blue" album got me into Country music. Her albums after that were disapointing (to me it was as if she was just releasing albums/ there was no spark like on "Blue") to me until "This Woman" came out. That was one of the best Country albums in a long time. "Faimily" not as good as "This Woman" but it's not a bad attempt. I don't think I'll be playing this album as much as "This Woman". Song wise, nothing really stands out for me. I like the idea that she wrote majority of the album. This girl can sing. There is no doubt in that. If you're a LeAnn Fan buy this album but if your looking for a good cd by LeAnn buy "Blue" or "This Woman".

Editorial Reviews:
|
This sounds like a pivotal release for Rimes, who made her breakthrough as a childhood prodigy with an uncanny vocal resemblance to Patsy Cline, and then evolved into an eclectic diva who couldn't quite decide what she wanted to be when she grew up. She's all grown up now, as both the sensual "Upper Hand" and the spiritual "What I Cannot Change" attest. Rimes had a hand in writing all the material (except for the bonus-cut duets with Jon Bon Jovi and Reba McEntire), and themes of family--though not always her family--pervade the lyrics. Musically, this is grittier, harder-edged, and more propulsive than much of her previous fare, with the title cut and "Nothin' Better to Do" evoking the Southern country soul of Bobbie Gentry, her duet with Marc Broussard on "Nothing Wrong" riffing like the Rolling Stones, and "One Day Too Long" sounding like the female Otis Redding. She's lost none of her supple upper register, as the balladry of "Pretty Things" attests, but Leann Rimes in no longer just a pretty voice. --Don McLeese
