"I purchased Rebecca Lynn Howard's sophomore release based on the fact that I loved the song "Forgive." I had never even heard of her prior to listening to that song. It's honestly one of the best albums I've bought recently. There's not a song on here I don't enjoy, which is rare, because there's usually at least one song on an album I don't like. Rebecca has a very powerful voice that shines on songs like "Memorized," "This Love" and the title track. She also co-wrote seven of the songs on here, which always make me appreciate a singer's work more.Fantastic harmonies, lovely melodies and fun, toe-tapping songs make "Forgive" a must have album for country fans! Below is a brief summary of each song on the CD.

1. "Beautiful To You"- An upbeat song about a girl saying she's happy as can be since she is beautiful to her boyfriend.2. "Dancin' in God's Country"- A pure country tune!3. "It Didn't Look Like Alcohol"- A song about a man struggling with his life.4. "Life Had Other Plans"- A song about plans not happening and then realizing that maybe life has other ideas for you.5. "Forgive"- Rebecca's first hit single about a woman's husband admitting that he's been cheating and him asking for her forgiveness. Faith Hill was supposed to record this song.6. "It's My Job To Fall"- A beautiful song about being there for someone who's had somebody walk out on them.7. "Jesus and Bartenders"- An amusing song about a similarity that Jesus and bartenders share ("They hear things that men don't tell their wives/Sinful secrets whiskey brings to light/One man offers comfort from the cross/The other only comfort on the rocks").8. "This Love"- A gorgeous ballad about being in a perfect, fairy tale-like relationship.9. "When Did You Ever Listen To Me"- A song about a woman saying she's planning on leaving her man because he has never listened to her.10. "Memorized"- A melancholy song about a lost love and how she's memorized everything about him.11. "Pink Flamingo Kind of Love"- A fun, lighthearted tune about a simple life.12. "Softly and Tenderly"- A traditional religious song. Very pretty!"

"After overcoming what seems like insurmountable odds, Rebecca Lynn Howard has 'made it'. Her new CD shows her vocal chops, alongside her already well-established writing skills.
The songs on this CD range from the fun, pop-oriented "Beautiful to You" to the powerful first single "Forgive" and the award-winning gospel "Soft and Tenderly". Also "It Didn't Look like Alcohol" is a powerful song about one man's battle with the bottle; "Life Had Other Plans For Me" is a positive song about how everything happens for a reason, even if it doesn't make sense at the time; "Pink Flamingo Kind of Love" is an upbeat song about not having a lot of money, but being rich in another way. My favorite song is the toe-tappin' ode to small town life "Dancin' in God's Country", she throws in a couple of great Bob Wills-esque 'a-ha's.
Skip Shania, forget Faith, reach for Rebecca Lynn Howard's CD in the store!"
