"I just love this CD. One of Patty's best she has ever done. Her vocal ability is just outstanding. What a range of vocal ability. You Will is a wonderful single from the Cd as well as How Can I Help You Say Goodbye. This song is about losing loved ones and best friends. The first time I heard it I was just astonished at the words in the song. It makes you feel like you are there and these things are happening to you. Another good song on the CD that was Number One is Blame It On Your Heart. I Love This Song and the first time I heard it I knew it was going to be number one. It is about a man who has left his wife for another woman and now tries to mend things up with her and she more or less tells him to get lost. Evidentally he doesn't know how lucky he has it. There is a lot of good music on this CD and one of my favorite songs is Mr. Man In The Moon. I like it because I like the older country music and it sounds like a song from the Late 50's to early 60's.
What a good selection of music all on one CD. I recommend this CD to anyone who loves country music and that is why I gave it 5 stars."

"I get so sick of hearing about Reba McEntire, Faith Hill and Martina McBride. They aren't fit to hold Patty's microphone and this CD proves it!! Every song on here is an absolute gem and this was the beginning of a long and prosperous association with Sony. MCA didn't know what they were doing when they had Patty on the label and she released outstanding work there too! Patty has always been excellent and consistent. This CD will disappoint no one and is one I listen to over and over again. My favorite is "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye" followed by "Nothing But the Wheel" and Blame it On Your Heart" all big hits for Patty. She is the best because when it comes to country music (and I'm talking real country...not bubblegum like Reba, Faith or Martina) no one does it like this gal!!"
Epic debut on Epic label

"Patty steadily built her career during her time on MCA but that label was not short of talent - Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood were among those who were also signed to MCA at the time. With less competition at Epic records, Patty made the switch. This particular album, whose recording and subsequent release was delayed by throat surgery, showed Patty's traditional roots within a contemporary country framework. The album is dominated by ballads but there are some up-tempo and mid-tempo songs (Blame it on your heart, How about you, All I need is not to need you, You will). It yielded three big country hits, these being Nothing but the wheel (about going on the road to drive a man out of her mind), How can I help you say goodbye (about coping with death) and Blame it on your heart (one of the up-tempo songs). All three later appeared on Classics, a greatest hits compilation that I've already reviewed.Apart from the hits, there are other excellent songs here including Love builds the bridges pride builds the walls (about two stubborn people), You don't know how lucky you are (on the old theme of love being more important than riches) and What's a broken heart (on another old theme - coming to terms with a broken relationship).As ever, this is a top quality album - Patty has never recorded anything else - but if you are new to her music, you might be better to buy Classics as a starter."
