Encyclopedia
"In Full View" is the debut album by country
singer-songwriter Victoria Shaw (who had, by the mid-90's, established quite a career writing for country artists such as Garth Brooks
, Doug Stone and John Michael Montgomery
). It was released in 1995 on Reprise, her first (of two) for the label (her eponymous album came along two years later
).
Of the 11 tracks here, Shaw co-wrote the first ten (notably, two of those ten with pop
songwriter Desmond Child
), and wrote the last one by herself. Four singles were released ("Cry Wolf", "Tears Dry", "Forgiveness", "(A Day in the Life of a) Single Mother"), and all of them placed very low on the US Country
chart (57, 74 and 58 for the first three; the last one failed to chart).
