In Full View
album by Victoria Shaw
In Full View is the debut album by American country singer-songwriter Victoria Shaw, released on August 8, 1995, by Reprise Records.
Of the 11 tracks on the album, Shaw co-wrote the first ten (two of those ten with pop songwriter Desmond Child), and wrote the last one by herself. Multi award-winning and multi-platinum recording artist Garth Brooks provides backing vocals on the track "Tears Dry".
Four singles were released from the album ("Cry Wolf", "Tears Dry", "Forgiveness", "(A Day in the Life of a) Single Mother"), and all of them placed very low on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart (57, 74 and 58 for the first three; the last one failed to chart).

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “In Full View” as album by Victoria Shaw. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as album by Victoria Shaw. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16996734. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
