Essential Albums
- LeAnn Rimes’ debut—a No. 1 record by her 14th birthday—was a mix of retro-country and pop sheen that earned her deserved comparisons to artists like Patsy Cline. (According to legend, Cline actually came close to recording the title track, written by Bill Mack in the mid-’50s.) Whether on ballads (“Blue,” “Hurt Me,” the wistful Eddy Arnold duet “Cattle Call”) or uptempo songs like “One Way Ticket (Because I Can),” Rimes’ delivery is light but unusually confident, helping to turn the album into an instant classic and a forecast of what was to come.

About LeAnn Rimes
Blessed with a powerful soprano, LeAnn Rimes has proven herself a force across country, pop, gospel, and dance music. Born in 1982 in Jackson, MS, she released her debut album as a preteen.. A few years later, she conquered country airwaves with the 1996 honky-tonk throwback “Blue,” a song that heralded her as an heir to Patsy Cline’s heart-wrenching vocal style and established her as a radio wunderkind. But Rimes quickly showed she wouldn’t be limited. She’s since done soulful power ballads (1997’s “How Do I Live”); gritty pop songs (2000’s “Can’t Fight the Moonlight”); and punchy dance numbers (2016’s “Long Live Love”), seamlessly adapting her singing technique to suit the moment. In 2023, she tapped into a number of the genres she’s explored over her career with the vibrant god’s work (resurrected), a poignant offering in an already affecting body of work.
