Leann Rimes: Album
built 215 days ago
In 1996, LeAnn Rimes burst out of nowhere with her debut single, "Blue," which immediately captured the attention of country fans across America. It wasn't just the fact that her rich, powerful vocals were remarkably similar to Patsy Cline -- it was the fact that Rimes was only 13 years old. Like Tanya Tucker and Brenda Lee before her, she had a hit with her debut single and was barely a teenager at the time. It was quite an auspicious way to begin a career. Born in Jackson, MS, but raised in Garland, TX, Rimes (born August 28, 1982) began singing as a child, performing at local talent contests. At the age of 11, she released her first album on an independent record label called Nor Va Jak.

Immediately following her 21st birthday in 2003, LeAnn Rimes released a greatest hits album simply titled Greatest Hits, which went platinum in 2007. But then, LeAnn took a short break from stardom. It wasn't until 2005 that Miss Rimes made a comeback to country music with the album This Woman. It was her best-selling album in five years.

LeAnn Rimes is the self-titled, 1999 album by LeAnn Rimes. The album consists of covers of many country classics, including several Patsy Cline songs.
