Faith Hill - It Matters To Me (1995)

On her second album, Faith Hill confirmed that Take Me as I Am was no fluke. Like her debut album, It Matters to Me is an ambitious, diverse set of contemporary country that proves Hill can tackle virtually every subgenre of country, singing rockers, ballads, socially-aware stories, and love songs with an equal amount of grace. The singles "Let's Go to Vegas" and "It Matters to Me" aren't the only strong songs here -- the entire album is rich with first-rate songs, as well as superb singing from Hill, one of the most promising female vocalist of the mid-'90s.
