Trisha Yearwood, Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love: * * * 1/2 The heart and soul of country
If Trisha Yearwood’s first album in two years gets overshadowed by Garth Brooks’ ultimate-hits hoopla, then that’s a real shame. Her album may not arrive with the fanfare of her husband’s, but what an album it is. It delivers everything its title promises and then some: a couple of blues-rocking barnburners, a little Memphis soul, some cooing cowboy swing and perfectly wrought ballads that Yearwood sings with the emotional precision of a latter-day Tammy Wynette. —Brian Mansfield
