The Complete Limelight Sessions

The Complete Limelight Sessions is a collection of songs recorded by Canadian singer Shania Twain, before she signed a record deal with Mercury Nashville in 1993. It was released in North America on October 23, 2001, following the success of Come On Over. The album was promoted by remixes of "It's Alright", Twain's only song to chart on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart. "The Heart Is Blind" was released throughout December 2001 to country radio and adult contemporary radio,[1] but did not get enough airplay to enter Billboard's Hot Country Songs or Adult Contemporary chart.
