River Of Time (The Judds Album)
''River of Time'' is the fifth studio album by American country music duo the Judds, released on April 4, 1989 via RCA/Curb Records. It features the singles "Young Love (Strong Love)," "Let Me Tell You About Love," "One Man Woman" and "Guardian Angels." While the first two singles reached #1 on the country charts, the latter two peaked at #8 and #16 respectively, with "Guardian Angels" being their first single since 1983's "Had a Dream (For the Heart)" to miss Top Ten. "Do I Dare" is not included on the cassette or vinyl versions. Critical reception ''Billboard'' reviewed the album in the April 15, 1989 issue. The review said, "Although this album has fewer memorable songs than the stunning ''Heartland'', it is still a pure sonic feast. Wynonna Judd's straining-at-the-leash lead vocals perfectly counterpoint the sparkling minimalist instrumentation, and there is a full range of styles–from the breezy jazziness of "Not My Baby" to the canonical country of "Guardian Angels".
