All That is the second studio album by LeAnn Rimes, released independently under the label Nor Va Jak. It was released on July 22, 1994.[1] The album did not sell well on the market, but a copy was given to Curb Records owner, Mike Curb, who later signed Rimes to his label and recorded her debut major label album, Blue (1996). All That contains the original recording of "Blue". The album was later reissued as Unchained Melody: The Early Years (1997). The album contains covers of Dolly Parton’s “Why Can't We” and “I Will Always Love You”, though the latter is done in the style of Whitney Houston’s R&B cover. The album also has a cover of The Beatles’ “Yesterday” and Patsy Montana’s “I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart”.
Background
[edit]All That consists of songs that Rimes performed during her concerts prior to her contract with Curb Records.[2] Rimes was eleven years old at the time she recorded the album.[3][4] The album was recorded in the spring of 1994[5] at Norman Petty Studios[6] in Clovis, New Mexico and was released in July of the same year.[5] It was released on CD[7] and cassette tape.[8] Rimes recorded the song "Blue" which Bill Mack had passed to her.[5] The album was sold through a regional market but it was not a best-seller. A copy was sent to all major record label owners including Mike Curb who recalled "Someone sent me her CD. I put it on and everyone just turned their heads and said, 'Who's that?'".[2] Two years later Rimes signed her contract with Curb Records.[3] Rimes re-recorded "Blue" and "I'll Get Even with You" on Blue (1996).[4] Due to high sales of Blue,[9] Curb Records reissued the album as Unchained Melody: The Early Years (1997).[3][10][11] Alternate recordings of "Why Can't We" and "Middle Man" were placed on her second compilation album, God Bless America (2001). "Broken Wing" was also included on the God Bless America compilation album.[12][13]
