"Lorrie Morgan's 1997 album SHAKIN' THINGS UP is a great album, and usually overlooked. It includes the hit "Go Away", which is one of her most compelling singles in the past 5 years. The album features a good mixture of uptempo songs, and ballads. Some of the best uptempo songs include "Finishing Touch", "One Of Those Nights Tonight", and "I'm Not That Easy To Forget". The best ballads include "In A Perfect World", "Crazy From The Heat", "You Cant Take That" and her version of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". Overall this is a great album that no fan should be without, and country music fans might want to look into this to see what they are missing out on!"

Overlooked and under appreciated

"I fell in love with Lorrie's music from the time I heard her first RCA album and have remained a fan ever since. This album was released in 1997 at a time when country radio, not sharing my loyalty, had lost interest. Nevertheless, this is a lovely album, typical of Lorrie's music.The title track describes how Lorrie likes to shake things up, push out the boundaries and live on the edge. Given the number of marriages she has had and her eclectic musical tastes, nobody could argue with that.There are two real oldies here. I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand was originally a country hit for Porter Wagoner. Will you still love me tomorrow was originally a huge international hit for the Shirelles. Lorrie's exquisite version utilises a mandolin to add a slight bluegrass flavor.Crazy from the heat is a great song about young love. I'm not that easy to forget is a song of defiance a recently broken relationship. Elsewhere, the album contains a great mix of upbeat, fun songs and love songs.Despite the lack of big hits, this is a great album. Of course, if you're new to Lorrie's music, you should start with one of her compilations, but if you want to collect some of her original albums. You ought to include this one."

Great Album

"This is one of my favorite LM albums. It has the big hit "Go Away" (her last top 10 hit) but that's not all this album has to offer. My personal favorites are "Shakin' Things Up", "One Of Those Nights Tonight", "I've Enjoyed As Much Of This As I Can Stand". Every song on here is great. Buy it if you want to hear good music."
