LEANN: READY FOR BABY

LeAnn Rimes: 'We're Ready' for Baby

 With their anniversary fast approaching, LeAnn Rimes and Dean Sheremet knew just how to scratch their "seven-year itch": with a party – and soon, perhaps, a baby.

The country star and her husband invited 30 of their closest friends to celebrate their upcoming seventh wedding anniversary – and Rimes's 26th birthday on Aug. 28 – at the Calistoga Ranch in California's Napa Valley.

"We wanted to remember how blessed we are, and how excited we still are about each other," says Rimes, who was just 19 when she wed Sheremet, now 27, on Feb. 23, 2002. (They decided to celebrate early to take advantage of the warm weather and Rimes's birthday.)

The three-day festivities culminated with a seven-course dinner and an evening of dancing on Saturday night.
"My ankles and my feet hurt because I was jumping around on the dance floor so much!" she says.

Looking ahead, the couple say they are eager to begin a new chapter of their lives together: parenthood.

"We're ready, definitely," says Rimes, adding that they've gotten some friendly nudging from their pal and new dad Keith Urban.

Says Rimes: "He's encouraging us to start gettin' on it!"

"WHAT I CANNOT CHANGE" REVIEWS!

From Music Row:
Choosing the top platter of the week was a lot more difficult. In varying ways, Josh Gracin, Jeffrey Steele, Josh Turner, Darryl Worley and Jake Owen are all offering exceptional sounds. But LeAnn Rimes stands out by virtue of a refreshingly different songwriting approach, a courageous vocal and a distinctive production. She takes on the boys and wins an upset Disc of the Day prize:
LEANN RIMES/What I Cannot Change
Writer: LeAnn Rimes/Darrell Brown; Producer: Dann Huff; Publisher: Curb Songs/Lucky in Love/Grey Ink/Fran Am, ASCAP; Curb (track)
—The track is seductively moody, featuring beautifully arranged strings and delicate piano work. The ballad takes unexpected melodic turns as it twirls in the wind. Her vocal leaps into high-soprano notes that tickle the ears, and the lyric has truth. Very creative and highly recommended.

by JIM MALECSHARE

When LeAnn Rimes enters a recording studio, she carries with her the most impressive instrument in the room. Indeed, Rimes’ voice is extraordinary, a stunning combination of natural talent and technical precision, bathed in character and a timbre that is instantly identifiable.

But Rimes’ has a tendency to favor tempo, to chase radio trends, and to embrace the bombastic. And so her albums are typically ripe with predictably crescendoing power ballads and overproduced, pointlessly busy tracks that leave her magnificent voice buried in the mix.

“What I Cannot Change” is one of the rare instances, as was 2005’s “Probably Wouldn’t Be This Way,” when Rimes’ immense talent shines through the Nashville slickness that clutters her catalog. Here, producer Dann Huff smartly keeps the song’s piano and strings-driven arrangement sparse, allowing the track to serve as a backdrop for the real show—a tremendously sensitive vocal performance that is easily one of the most nuanced of Rimes’ career......
