Pleasantly surprised how good this album is. Not sure what I was expecting but Tanya sounds the same as some of her biggest hits. And the songs all have a classic Country sound to them. Really enjoyable

Sorry for the double post but I finished listening to the album. Wow , “Bring My Flowers Now” is stunning. One of those songs that stops you in your tracks. This album was quite a surprise and I will be listening to it later on my big speakers
Totally recommend it

Not that it's a big difference, but this article from Billboard says she actually debuted at #9 on the country chart.

My reference is p.14 from Billboard's country update this week.

This is a pretty strong album. Tanya's voice is weathered somewhat, but there is a passion and emotion in her vocals that you don't hear in a lot of music from newer artists. Something like "I Don't Owe You Anything" (which I love) wouldn't be nearly as impactful from someone with a 'purer' voice.

With four Grammy Nominations, that takes Tanya's career total to 14 (still without a win). I'm hoping that she wins Song Of The Year (but I doubt it), and in the country categories, either Solo Performance or Song (with Ashley McBryde winning the other one). I'm rooting for Reba for Country Album. If that were to happen, it would be great to see the three of them split the awards. I do think that Tanya has an excellent chance of winning her first Grammy this year.
