HEAVEN, HEARTACHE AND THE POWER OF LOVE
Trisha Yearwood
Big Machine
Even 16 years ago, at the start of her career, Trisha Yearwood was exceptional at delivering songs that probed the tangled emotions of adult relationships. On her 12th album, Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love, she shows how she's grown even more effective with experience.
Her alto can soar with the strongest and loudest — what makes this Georgia singer so powerful is how she uses her tender upper range and her growling lower register. As one of Nashville's best singers in front of an orchestra or solo piano, she breathes layers of emotion into ballads as well-conceived as The Dreaming Fields and Help Me. Similarly, few singers rock with as much ferociousness as Yearwood does on the title song or cop a groove with as much feistiness as on Drown Me.
Yearwood leans toward serious material, but the finger-snapping novelty Cowboys Are My Weakness demonstrates how much fun she can be when she loosens up.
Yearwood has never been the most prolific or hardest-touring artist, and she's slowed more since her 2005 marriage to singer Garth Brooks. To her credit, she continues to make every album an event worth celebrating — as Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love truly is.
