And so it is, although in at least one way it might as well be made up entirely of Miller's own compositions, given that none of these songs are at all famous (indeed, I've only even heard of a handful of the original artists). I really think that she's a genuine talent, as a songwriter (though obviously that's not on show on this particular record), as an interpreter of others' songs, and as a singer - in those last two dimensions, in particular, I don't reckon that she has too many peers. So, the warmth, expressiveness and vibrancy that one would expect are all here in spades, and so too the casually perfect blending of country and pop music. The only thing is that, at least so far, none of the numbers have really leapt out and struck me as particularly amazing, though that's not to say that there aren't plenty of highlights - Arthur Alexander's plangent "The Boy That Radiates That Charm", Tim Rogers' "Words For Sadness", the relatively straight-up country of Doug Sahm's "Give Me Back The Key To My Heart", the widescreen dreaming of Colin Blunstone's "Say You Don't Mind"...
