WHOLE HEART TO GIVE Ronni Rae Rivers Ronni Rae Rivers made quite a splash three years ago with her debut album Notice Me. But it’s this new release that really marks Ronni Rae’s arrival on the country scene. The album’s packed with strong, memorable songs delivered with passion, perception and power. Whole Heart To Give leaves no doubt that Ronni Rae has found her very own style and sound. It’s not surprising that five tracks were finalists in the recent ASA Songwriting Awards, or that the album’s two singles, Cowboys Come Home and I Would Want To is a standout track, along with the mesmerising duet with Randall Waller, Can You Let Somebody Else Be Strong? Also memorable are some of the huge ballads on the album, including the title tract Whole Heart To Give, Waiting On Lonely and the bluesy Running On Fumes. Ronni Rae’s included her own gutsy version of Look It Up, and it’s an absolute killer! This is an album that begs repeated listens, and rewards each of them with new understandings and delights.
