"How Do I Live" was nominated for 1998 Grammys for Song Of The Year and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
The teenage country belter follows up her multi-platinum BLUE with an album of "inspirational songs." While Rimes` definition of that term includes the traditionally gospel-oriented "Clinging To A Saving Hand" and " On The Side Of The Angels," it`s also expansive enough to encompass pop standards like "The Rose" and "Bridge Over Troubled Waters." YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE might be the least country of her recordings up to this point, relying more on a piano-based pop approach than the steel-guitar-led C&W of her previous work.
Rimes` voice remains the pure, crystalline instrument that has endeared her to millions. Whether she`s making the world forget Debby Boone with her version of the title song, or shoving Kate Smith aside with a definitive "God Bless America," her voice is powerful and communicative. To drive the point home, the album closes with a cappella versions of "Amazing Grace" and the National Anthem.
