Inside Out

After establishing herself as "the Linda Ronstadt of the '90s," Trisha Yearwood seems to be suffering from the sort of hackneyed production that undermined Ronstadt's career. Despite her impeccable vocal control, she barely finds room to breathe amid coproducer Mark Wright's cheesy bombast on the album-opening "Love Alone." The following cut and first single, "I Would've Loved You Anyway," sounds like a Celine Dion ballad that got lost on the way to a movie soundtrack. Fortunately, Yearwood loosens up with the playful bite of Matraca Berg's "For a While" providing material worth sinking her teeth into, while vocal support from Vince Gill ("I Don't Paint Myself into Corners") and Buddy Miller ("Love Let Go") complements her subtle soulfulness. A sing-along with Rosanne Cash on a remake of the latter's "Seven Year Ache" adds little to the classic original, but neither does it subtract appreciably. The title track features Don Henley on a frisky duet that reprises his and Yearwood's "Walkaway Joe" pairing. --Don McLeese
