The Best of LeAnn Rimes: Remixed

The Best of LeAnn Rimes is a greatest hits album by American country singer LeAnn Rimes, released in 2004, it tweaks the 2003 US release Greatest Hits, leaving behind some of the purer country hits that did not translate outside of the US—notably, Al Anderson's "Big Deal"—and concentrating on her big pop crossover hits, including "How Do I Live", "Can't Fight the Moonlight" and her duet with Ronan Keating, "Last Thing on My Mind".[1]

gollark: Yes, that's pretty bad.

gollark: I'm okay with the social distancing stuff as long as they do not do it forever or pretend they can, and as long as most relevant law stuff is rolled back after the whole COVID-19 situation is over.

gollark: As far as I am aware it hasn't been demonstrated to work. There have been trials going on for a while.

gollark: You are going to have problems isolating for a year, especially if basically nobody else is.

gollark: It's worrying to me that the UK is seemingly doing quite badly, since I live there.
