Where Your Road Leads is a superb collection of songs with influences from both country and pop. The title track is an epic song with none other than Garth Brooks singing backup. The first single, There Goes My Baby, is so good that even though most normal folks don't have a hope of keeping up with this vocal queen, you find yourself singing along anyway. The One is a heartbreaking song about a woman who doesn't want to be the one to call off the relationship. A Sad Song.
Powerful Love is indeed powerful and talks about happy love.
It deals with a cheater and is a good example of how Yearwood can take a good song and, by giving it a vocal twist, make it a fantastic song. She never takes the easy lyrical road. That said, Yearwood also never brags with voice. There are never unnecessary licks and vocal gymnastics. Yearwood has the pipes to out-sing just about anyone, but she understands moderation is a good thing.
