Editorial Review:
Sounding remarkably like Patsy Cline, LeAnn Rimes's voice slices into each song like a hot knife through butter. At the age of 13, Rimes became country's brightest new star upon the release of this impressive debut. Her balanced blend of traditional and new country owes as much to Cline as it does 1990s' style. "Cattle Call," a duet with the legendary Eddy Arnold, is just one of the many highlights on this album. Attention is focused on Rimes's distinctive booming vocals, as opposed to some snappy chops--musically, it all sounds familiar, like you have heard this before. Still, there are moments where you feel this could not be the voice of a child. As she matures, so will her feelings and presumably her songs. --Paula Ghergia
Blue Reviews:
"Blue" CD 
2009-03-30 - I just love my CD "Blue" by Leeann Rimes. Sorry it took so long to send a review. I wanted to play the CD first to make sure it worked and then I totally forgot about sending the review. It came is the condition it was promised and I am really enjoying it. Thanks!
Loved it!
2007-01-23 - I liked LeAnn's music during this time frame even better than her current stuff. The CD arrived well packed, in good shape and on time. I'm happy.
Talent obvious from the start 
2006-11-12 - Debuting at the tender age of 13 onto the charts, LeAnn Rimes took the country music world by storm in 1997 with the release of her debut album Blue and No. 1 smash single of the same name. Eventually garnering a Grammy (and being the youngest person ever to do so to this day) lead single "Blue" is the perfect example of what made the young star so popular from day one. Sounding remarkably mature for someone so young and showcasing a modern day take on that classic country sound Rimes' delivery is what makes this debut album such a guilty pleasure. Blue is hardly a perfect listen, but songs like the aforementioned first single, "One Way Ticket," "My Baby" and "Honestly" grab the listener from the start. Don't be blue...get this record. It's worth it.
Great debut
2006-08-13 - Some might think this is a really simple debut from a country artist, but some might forget that LeAnn Rimes was only 13 or 14 when she released this album. These songs sound like great country songs that Mindy McCready could've used to save her career later on. But forget about that. 10 years after its release, when you listen to this album it's just amazing! There are some tracks where you can tell she's young, but on some tracks such as "Hurt Me," where she sounds way beyond her years!
Good Lookin' Woman
2006-03-30 - This is LeAnn Rimes' first album and I think it is also her best. The music in this album is 60% country, 25 % pop and 15 % rock. LeAnn Rimes has a perfect voice for this kind of music. Also the duet with Eddy Arnold is a good one. The most beautiful moments offer the songs like "The Light in Your Eyes" and "Fade to Blue". There's also a great rock song "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)".
