CD Review: Collin Raye Tracks

Dateline: 06/05/00


Collin Raye - Tracks

Tracks Cover

In my opinion, there is no such thing as a bad Collin Raye song. This album is no exception, containing a nice mixture of ballads, upbeat numbers, and even a beautiful duet with actress and recording artist, Bobbie Eakes.

Below you can see my feelings on each of the cuts on this cd.

She's All That - If you thought you were in for an album full of ballads, this one will prove that ain't the case. Reminds me of "That's My Story," style-wise. A real fun start.

I Want To Be There - This is a gorgeous ballad sung only the way Collin can sing it. Sure hope he'll release it as a single.

Completely - This is my favorite track on the album. Another great ballad. "Darlin' completely with all of my soul. I was so empty, till you made me whole."

Couldn't Last a Moment - This song is so different from any that Collin has done before. It's the first single off the album, and includes some spoken parts. Not only is the song awesome, the video is one that I never get tired of watching. The way it's shot, you don't know if she took him back or not. Perhaps there will be a sequel?

You Will Always Be Mine - If Collin releases this one as a single it's bound to be a favorite "wedding song." The lyrics are so touching, as is the way he sings this. "There are moments when I love you beyond the limits of my human heart."

A Long Way To Go - This upbeat song talks about a relationship that's over, but the guy is having a hard time getting over it.

Harder Cards - What would a Collin Raye CD be without a song with a message? This one talks about how different people have harder lives than others. This particular song deals with a murder that was committed, and the woman tells the detective "There are people that you pass by everyday, with harder cards than yours in life to play."

Landing In Love - Just love this ballad. Very mellow song about falling and "landing in love."

Loving This Way - Here is the duet with soap star, Bobbie Eakes. They sound great together.

You Still Take Me There - Another sure-fire hit here. Typical fantastic Collin Raye ballad.

Water and Bridges - This one will make you think as you listen to the lyrics, about wishing you could change things in the past.

She's Gonna Fly - Be sure to have some tissues nearby when you listen to this one. It's bound to bring a tear or two to your eyes.

I'd rate this CD 5 out of 5. I love the mixture of songs here. No matter what Collin sings, you can always feel the emotion in his voice. Each song here speaks to you in a big way. Great release!
