LeAnn Rimes Gives Male Country Anthems the Female Touch
July 27, 2011

Country star Leann Rimes is giving all her favourite tunes the female touch for a new covers album after realising they were all sung by men.


The Blue singer's upcoming release, Lady & Gentlemen, will feature her interpretation of hits by grizzled veterans like George Jones, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard.

She says, "This album was born out of the memories of when I first fell in love with country music and, in reflecting, I realised that almost all of my favourite country songs from back then were sung by men.

"I am honoured to take a step back in time and sing these songs from a woman's perspective and hopefully help reintroduce them to a new audience."

The singer has also re-recorded her 1996 hit Blue for the album - to mark the song's 15th anniversary.

Lady & Gentlemen will be released in September (27).

It's not just the female touch it's the "Rimes treatment". You can't beat that, can't wait.

Hi Leann, I'm so excited about the new music.I'm thrilled that there's two original songs also. Wow, re-recording Blue also(interesting).I have 'All That' and I think its slightly different from the version on the 'Blue' cd.Your voice has maybe changed a little so I'm looking forward to the Blue 2011 version. I still think your the greatest singer ever(definitely my favorite singer ever by far). I hope the remainder of 2011 brings you much sucess and happiness. Joe A.
