Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
From the time she burst onto the music scene as a teenager with the smash hit 'Blue' to the release of her new studio album 'Family,' she has seen it all while taking it with a grain of salt. Some people will always see her as the little girl with the booming voice. She wants to change all that, and part of that process will start with her latest album 'Family.' For the first time, LeAnn wrote or co-wrote every song on the album. From the autobiographical first track 'Family' to the hit single 'Nothin' Better To Do,' she pours out her soul for the world to see. While the album is incredibly personal, LeAnn managed to create music that is incredibly universal. Her confident, compelling voice helps to solidify her as one of the premier vocalists in Country music. 'Family' showcases her diversity as a vocalist from engaging duets with Marc Broussard on 'Nothing Wrong' and Bon Jovi on 'Til We're Not Strangers' to the soul searching song 'What I Cannot Change.' Through LeAnn's journey to adulthood, growing up, and developing as a writer and vocalist, she has produced an album that is one for the ages that chronicles the myriad relationships and experiences that have shaped the life of one of America's most successful artist.

This sounds like a pivotal release for Rimes, who made her breakthrough as a childhood prodigy with an uncanny vocal resemblance to Patsy Cline, and then evolved into an eclectic diva who couldn't quite decide what she wanted to be when she grew up. She's all grown up now, as both the sensual 'Upper Hand' and the spiritual 'What I Cannot Change' attest. Rimes had a hand in writing all the material (except for the bonus-cut duets with Jon Bon Jovi and Reba McEntire), and themes of family--though not always her family--pervade the lyrics. Musically, this is grittier, harder-edged, and more propulsive than much of her previous fare, with the title cut and 'Nothin' Better to Do' evoking the Southern country soul of Bobbie Gentry, her duet with Marc Broussard on 'Nothing Wrong' riffing like the Rolling Stones, and 'One Day Too Long' sounding like the female Otis Redding. She's lost none of her supple upper register, as the balladry of 'Pretty Things' attests, but Leann Rimes in no longer just a pretty voice. --Don McLeese

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Interesting Set
Leann Rimes is an amazing talent and has established herself as a force to be reckoned with as a country artist with an immense catalogue of work established at a very young age. This cd is a very important stepping stone in her career. She has cowritten many of the songs here and a more mature sound is established.
Some songs work better here than others. Standouts are FAMILY, ONE DAY TOO LONG and WHAT I CANNOT CHANGE. Both bonus tracks, duets with Bon Jovi and Reba McEntire, are ... Read More
Rating: - She Has An Awsome Voice...

I love the CD, but we saw Leann in Boise back in June (08) and I thought she was awesome! ..she is!!!
The CD is great, alive, she's awesome!!!
Rating:  - Artistic and Personal Growth
Family which LeAnn admits is her most personal record to date,clearly shows her continued growth as an artist in general and a songwriter in particular.She wrote(or co-wrote)all of the songs on the cd(which is a first in her career thus far).
The first single off the cd 'Nothin Better To Do' cracked Billboards Top 20 and the video was in heavy rotation on CMT and to a lesser degree on GAC.The song is very original,upbeat and the video perfectly suited the song and is Ms.Rimes best video to date. ... Read More
Rating: - Outstanding Album
With 2005's "This Woman", LeAnn delivered one of the best albums I've heard, and even though this is a small step down, it is still a true 5 star album, that everyone should buy once they get the chance. Now that LeAnn is writing her own songs, she is delivering more impressing performances than ever before! Her voice sounds better than ever, and man, she has some awesome pipes! A true winner!
Favourites:
"Good Friend & A Glass Of Wine"
