Considered a goddess by every girl coming to Nashville, Trisha Yearwood seldom makes CDs worthy of that reverence. Jasper Country beats her '90s efforts, stripping away some gloss, upping the up-tempos. Yet any personality dissipates amid the average tunes. "Gimme the Good Stuff"? Exactly.

Trisha Yearwood's ninth outing, Real Live Woman, is a satisfying mix of Ronstadt's California confessionals, Raitt's country blues, Springsteen's melancholia, and the romantic yearnings of some of Nashville's hippest female writers.
