Anyone a fan of Bekka's work with Faith Hill?
I just love some of the songs Bekka wrote for Faith ("Better Days," off of "Faith"; "One" off of "Cry"). She is by far Faith's most fantastic back up singer. (I especially loved her on Faith's "When the Lights Go Down" Special when they showed them interacting backstage.
Any thoughts? |

Personally I much prefer Bekka's own versions of those songs from her 'What's In It For Me' album. Far superior.

I hear what you're saying...I bought her "What's In It For Me" album online and I really enjoyed it. However, (and this is totally a matter of personal preference), I enjoy Faith Hill's vocals much more. "What's In It For Me" (off of "Breathe") is definitely one of Faith's shining moments vocally. Do you like Faith's versions of these songs at all?
Also, can anyone maybe suggest some other Bekka recordings I should buy and listen to? |

I do like Faith's versions..i think she's such a great,great vocalist. I just feel it's more heartfelt when the songwriter sings their own song.
Faith Hill has a lot of great songs though,that's for sure. As for more Bekka material..the Bekka & Billy album is excellence! |

GateandGarden...you like Faith/country music? We'll definitely have a lot to chat about in the Chit Chat Forum I know this is getting a little off the post-Rumours topic, but I thought you'd be interested to know that Faith is realeasing a new album this year. Rumor has it (haha...no pun intended) that it will be called "Mississippi Girl" and that the video for the first single has been booked (same director as Shania's "Don't"). A very tentative release date for the album is June 28. (This stuff always changes, though). |

I think Bekka should stick to being a LEAD singer...even though she does a great job almost every time, she seems to really be in her "niche" on the more rockin' material she lends backgrounds to; such as Montgomery Gentry's "Gone" & Jonny Lang's "Lie To Me".

I'd rather see Bekka do an alt.country album by herself at this point. I don't think she needs to back anybody up. Although, I'd love to hear her sing the female part on the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter."

Altho I know so little of Bekka's contribution, all I can say is that it would take amazing poise and guts to step into fleetwood mac as a female vocal. Arguably even bigger stones than it may have taken Burnette and Vito to come in as axemen. For this I can tip my hat. I know I could never do it.

Besides Faith, I really like Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson. One of my favorite new acts in Sugarland—their debut album is fantastic! Anyway, I look forward to chatting with you more in the future! |

Sorry, but in terms of country women, I still prefer Dolly and Loretta. THAT'S country!
