History

Following the release of his 1996 album Faces , Berry recorded two unreleased albums for his previous label, Capitol Nashville. The first of these, Crazy for the Girl, was to have been released in 1997, but its lead-off single "The Stone" was withdrawn after Berry suffered vocal cord problems. [1] A second, Better Than a Biscuit, was given a release date of 1998, but also went unreleased due to Berry's decision to exit the label. [2] Both of these albums produced low-charting singles: "The Stone" from the former, and "Over My Shoulder" and "Better Than a Biscuit" from the latter. [3]

Wildest Dreams produced two singles for Barry on the Hot Country Songs charts: "Love Is for Giving" peaked at #53, and "Power Windows" (a cover of the Billy Falcon song) at #43. [3] Also included are covers of John Farnham's "You're the Voice" and Phil Collins's "You'll Be in My Heart."

Critical reception

Charlotte Dillon of Allmusic rated the album four stars out of five, saying that its sound was closer to soft rock than country music, but praising Berry's voice and calling it a "powerful match" to the songs. [4]
