You really can’t go wrong with any of her albums. Her Arista debut ,Put Yourself In My Place, and Sweethearts’s Dance are my favorites. All Of This Love also has good ones like “Sunset Red And Pale Moonlight” and “It’s Lonely Out There,” while Every Time includes “Hurt Myself” and “Whiskey On The Wound.” I’ll just narrow it down to those. I have way too many favorites to list:)

I know coming up with these lists is quite a challenge, but you all are doing a fine job. It’s seems that many 90′s artists are sadly forgotten today by the much of mainstream audience. I appreciate you putting the spotlight back on them.

What I was trying to say, artists like Patty Loveless I were suprised didnt get nominated and Pam won that year. I dont think Trisha could have beat her, being too new. And Pam’s ties were stronger in Nashville at the time. I dont think I expected Mary Chapin to win again. Reba was deserving that year, but then again when was she not deserving in the 90′s? Pam just never seemed like she exploded like most female vocalist winners, she just kinda slid gracefully into that spot. I was suprised. As well as in 1995, and 1998 and 2004!

I wouldn’t say go buy the Greatest Hits – I’d say get the studio albums and just download the two “new” tracks from it.

But for those keeping track, the starter kit includes nine songs from her 1997 Greatest Hits.

Left off the Starter Kit: “Mi Vida Loca”, “Let That Pony Run”, “Land of the Living”

Not on Greatest Hits: “Do You Know Where Your Man Is”, plus the two hidden treasures.

Loveless wasn’t nominated for Female Vocalist that year. Tillis had been the previous year, and her Sweetheart’s Dance album was very well received critically and commercially. Her long ties to Nashville were also a plus. The timing was really perfect for her that year.

Now Alison Krauss winning in 1995? That shocked me. But who knew that this would be the woman who’d end up winning 26 Grammys?
