    LeAnn Rimes brings her stunning voice to the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den

    Okay, kids, it’s time for a LeAnn Rimes resurgence.

    Or, in the spirit of Matthew McConaughey’s McConaissance, we can call it the Rimesaissance.

    Listen to her new album, “Remnants,” and then I dare you not to agree. And I dare you to find any fault with her velvety voice and the way she can bring life to any type of song.

    She lifts tunes with her nuanced, emotional delivery, as numbers jump from the sassy, percussion-pop of “Love Is Love Is Love” to the delicate filigree of “Mother” to the top-40 sheen of “Long Live Long” to the grand, sweeping ballad “Outrageous Love.” (Yes, love is a common theme here.)

    The country singer, who started out as a child star in Nashville, saw her popularity wane after her tabloid-fodder affair with her 2009 TV-movie co-star Eddie Cibrian when both were married to other people. Well, LeAnn and Eddie have been wed since 2011, so here’s hoping the public lets LeAnn move out of the shadow of those years-ago headlines.

    She’s giving a free concert Saturday at Mohegan Sun Wolf Den, and it’s bound to serve up new material alongside such uber-hits as “How Do I Live,” “Blue” and “One Way Ticket (Because I Can).”
