"Essential" Says It All

"This CD has not left my player since the day I bought it...There are very few "pure" country voices in the business today, so it's hard to compare contemporary artists to Whitley. The closest in vocal style would probably be a cross between Tim McGraw and Alan Jackson, though Whitley's style is more traditional. From emotional offerings like "Living Like There's No Tomorrow," "If a broken Heart Could Kill," and "I'm Over You", kicking tunes like "If You Think I'M Crazy Now" and "Hard Livin", to the popular songs such as "Miami, My Amy", "Don't Close Your Eyes", and "When You Say Nothin' at All (a chart topper in recent years for Allison Krause)", this album has something for every country music listener. A real gem..."
