Review
After spending years pursuing a mainstream pop career, Olivia Newton-John returned to Nashville in the late '90s to record Back with a Heart. By that time, of course, the boundaries between Nashville and adult contemporary pop had been blurred beyond belief, so it was no great stretch for her to tackle contemporary country. Nevertheless, Newton-John quite obviously put a great deal of effort into the making of Back with a Heart -- the record is her best in years. It's much slicker than even her polished country-pop from the '70s, but a team of producers -- Don Cook, John Farrar, Gary Burr, Tony Brown, Chris Farren and David Foster -- have created an appealingly smooth sound that gives her a platform to showcase her mature craftsmanship. None of the songs immediately stand out, but the album has a consistent quality that is thoroughly winning. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi| Back with a Bong! (1989 Album by Murphy's Law) | |

Production, Release and Singles
The album was recorded in Nashville and marked a return to the U.S Country charts after an absence of almost twenty years. The album featured the single "I Honestly Love You," a re-recording of her 1974 number-one song featuring vocals by Babyface. The song was released in two versions - the album version for Pop and AC radio and a remix for Country radio. The title track was also issued only as a vinyl 45 single in the United States. The album track, "Love Is a Gift", won Newton-John a 1999 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Song after being featured on the daytime serial, As the World Turns. "Precious Love" was also a single from the album, with the accompanying music video getting a lot of airplay on CMT.
