I think the reason we've not seen as much of Leann Rimes for many years now is that she got on the bad side of the Nashville elite for several things, that as isolated incidences would not have been a big deal, but together made her unpalatable: whether it was her decision, or the decision of her producers, she looked a bad sport when Trisha Yearwood's version of Diane Warren's "How Do I Live" was picked over Leann Rime's version for the film "Con Air", and she released her version on the day Yearwood's version was dropped putting her in direct competition with Trisha Yearwood, and ultimately upstaging her when clearly Rime's version was far better, at least with the general listening audience. Then there was the ugly business of her suing her father over the mismanagement of her money, and essentially stealing from her, and the countersuit he lodged against his daughter, and some people thinking she was just a brat. It did not help that she became the other woman, breaking up her marriage and the marriage of Eddie Cibiran while denying they were having an affair. She is definitely an amazing singer that I think has been somewhat blackballed for the reasons I stated. I love her, have loved her since the release of her album "Blue; but sad to say I do not think this a very pretty version of "Over The Rainbow,." This is one of the prettiest, most melodious songs ever written, but her shrill interpretation somehow destroys the melody . . . in my opinion. I get what she is trying to do, instilling passion and longing into the lyrics, but that would have been better accomplished with a head voice rather than her chest voice. One only has to watch Judy Garland's version on "The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz," and see the vast difference of which I speak. Again: just my opinion.
Wow I'm so fortunate to have seen Tammy Wynette in red Bay Alabama. Those hurting memories still find me. Maybe that's why I'm single and plan to stay single
