Inside Out is the ninth studio album by American country music artist Trisha Yearwood. It was released on June 5, 2001 via MCA Nashville and was produced by Mark Wright and Yearwood.

Positively commented on by music critics, Inside Out became her first studio album to top the US Top Country Albums chart and her second overall after her compilation (Songbook) A Collection of Hits (1997). Three official singles were released from the album, with "I Would've Loved You Anyway" being the most successful. It peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, becoming her 19th and final top-ten hit to date. Covers of Bryan Adams and Rebecca Lynn Howard's songs, "Inside Out" and "I Don't Paint Myself into Corners" (the former being a duet with Eagles frontman Don Henley), were released as the second and third singles but had less success.

At the 44th Annual Grammy Awards in 2002, Yearwood received three nominations for Best Country Album, Best Female Country Vocal Performance for "I Would've Loved You Anyway", and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for "Inside Out";[1] she lost all her nominations however as the first award went to Timeless - Hank Williams Tribute, the second to "Shine" by Dolly Parton, and the third to "I am a Man Of Constant Sorrow" from the Soggy Bottom Boys.[2]

Background

[edit]

After the release of her previous album Real Live Woman (2000), Yearwood explained she didn't know how to follow up the record as she felt she and collaborator Garth Fundis had made the best albums of their career. She decided to switch producers to Mark Wright for this album.[3]

Singles

[edit]

Three official singles were released from the album.

"I Would've Loved You Anyway" was serviced as the album's lead single on March 19, 2001.[4] A song about coming to terms with a breakup,[5] it garnered positive reviews with Billboard writing, "This affecting ballad...demonstrates this enduring singer's consistent ability to wring out emotion without going overboard."[6] It debuted at number 48 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart (then titled Hot Country Singles & Tracks) the week of April 7, 2001, and peaked at number four on the chart the week of September 29, 2001, becoming her 19th and to date, final top ten single on the chart.[7]

The Don Henley duet "Inside Out" was the album's second single, released on November 12, 2001.[8] The song is a country duet with influences of funk and R&B.[9][5] It was originally recorded by Bryan Adams for his 1998 album On a Day Like Today where it was released a single from in 2000. Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave the track a positive review saying "it has an insinuating groove, memorable melody, and an infectious hook" and also praised the chemistry between the two stars.[10] However, it was less successful, hitting number 31 on the country airplay chart.

"I Don't Paint Myself into Corners" was the third and final single released, added to stations on July 1, 2002.[11] It was co-written and originally recorded by country artist Rebecca Lynn Howard in 2000 for her self-titled debut album, where it became a minor hit upon its release as a single from that record. The track proved not a success, hitting number 47 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart where it was her fourth single to peak outside the top-forty.
