 | Picture in a Frame by Kimmie Rhodes

with Willie Nelson of her compositions. See also my Listmania: DISCOVER THE MUSIC OF KIMMIE RHODES and THE BEST SONGS WRITTEN BY WOMEN.

Exhilarating!

also.
|
 | Long Black Train by Josh Turner
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.95 Deep rich voice. So far, title song is only one in my collection, but an impressive singer who needs better songs. Maybe he should record some familiar standards,(probably better than the original artists).
|
 | Lighthouse Family - Greatest Hits (+2 Bonus Tracks) by Lighthouse Family
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $5.98 Their two best songs: HIGH and I WISH. A pity that since the group broke up in 2004, their lead singer TUNDE
has had little production or success.

|
 | Kissing Rain by Roch Voisine
Buy used from: $3.55 Included this 1996 CD because he may be unfamiliar to many. A rare CD where every track is enjoyable. Performs
more in French and hasn't done a CD in English of this quality since.
|
 | Pieces of You by Jewel
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 Mini-fib. Only song I've kept: Foolish Games(1995).Her VOICE I admire but skimlistens haven't found other keepers YET. I like when she guest performs with country artists, doing songs other than her own.(Ditto for Sheryl Crow).
