Reviews

This is a reissue of previous material West cut, and consists mostly of her covers of well known songs. West’s style and delivery have evolved since these numbers were done, and the album is interesting only if for comparison to her newer, torchier persona. The production is basic country with none of the contemporary touches that clearly stamp West’s recording now.
Best Cuts: “Help Me,” “Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream).”
