This set combines LeAnn Rimes' 1996 debut album, Blue, with an album she recorded much further down the line, 2007's Family, skipping the many genre excursions she went through in the releases that appeared between these two. Only 15 years old when Blue came out, Rimes has shown a surprising willingness to step outside of the country-pop box since, but with Family, she returned to it as a fully grown woman, and this time featuring a group of songs that she either wrote or co-wrote. ~ Steve Leggett

She'd been wowing audiences with her uncannily adult voice for years, but in 1996, thirteen-year-old LeAnn Rimes turned the country world upside down with her Patsy Cline-soundalike "Blue." The young star, managed by her dad, was showered with accolades, including the Best New Artist Grammy. But as Nashville labels rushed to sign their own teen stars, Rimes was already moving in a pop direction. Her next three studio CDs were odd mixtures of new country, country classics and pop/rock covers, and she scored a string of pop hits from movie and TV soundtracks, including the massive "How Do I Live."
