The first single from her all new inspirational album is the song, You Light Up My Life. The album also features as a bonus track the song, How Do I Live\nCertified at 4 million units by the RIAA. (2\/01)\n\nAmazon.com\n\nThis 1997 album debuted at the top of the pop, country, and Christian album charts. Sadly, it underscored the artistic vacuum surrounding Rimes in the wake of her explosive 1996 hit single \"Blue.\" At a time when female country singers were being lauded for their growing depth and sophistication, this collection of \"inspirational songs\" seemed anachronistic and downright corny. The concept was more appropriate to a TV-marketed album by some faded legend than a singer so young. Even the best singers would have difficulty bringing anything new to the over-recorded title song, \"Bridge Over Troubled Waters,\" \"God Bless America,\" \"Amazing Grace,\" and \"The Star Spangled Banner,\" songs impossible to redefine. That might explain why Rimes's vocals throughout are as soulless and detached as her performance of \"Blue\" was passionate and earthy. At times, she sounds as if she's singing from a teleprompter. The album's success is undeniable. Whether it did her talent justice is another matter. --Rich Kienzle\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000000DHW\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.B000000DHW.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rimes, Leann|Rimes, LeAnn\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Discs is in good condition and comes in original case with original artwork.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Happy Book Stack ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52295639564589,"sku":"HBSV.B000000DHW.G","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/6799\/6205\/files\/B000000DHW-0.jpg?v=1786740402","url":"https:\/\/www.thehappybookstack.com\/products\/you-light-up-my-life-inspirational-songs","provider":"The Happy Book Stack ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
