Jamie O'Neal - Jamie O'Neal

AMG Review

Country singer and songwriter and Sydney, Australia, native Jamie O'Neal first drew major public attention in the music world with her hit single "There Is No Arizona." It's one of the strongest tunes on this album -- a song about being left behind with nothing more than a broken heart and shattered promises. O'Neal has the perfect sultry voice for this kind of contemporary country music. She also has the ability to transfer the emotions of the lyrics into each note she sings. Before recording her own music, O'Neal spent time as a backup singer and even penned songs for many well-known country artists, such as Chely Wright, LeAnn Rimes, Mindy McCready, Tammy Cochran, and many others. O'Neal co-wrote most of the tunes on this album, including "She Hasn't Heard It Yet," "When I Think About Angels," "Sanctuary," "Shiver," and "You Rescued Me." One of the songs, "I'm Not Gonna Do Anything Without You," was performed as an enjoyable duet with Mark Wills. O'Neal's husband, Rodney Good, sang harmony on some of the tunes, while her little sister, Samantha Murphy, did backup vocals. ~ Charlotte Dillon, All Music Guide
