REBA IS ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE ARTISTS TO LISTEN TO TODAY. SHE SINGS FROM THE HEART AND LETS YOU FEEL EVERY WORD SHE IS SINGING.I'VE NEVER ENJOYED ANY OTHER ARTIST 1/2 AS MUCH AS I ALWAYS ENJOY LISTENING TO MY REBA.I HOPE SHE IS AROUND FOR MANY MANY YEARS TO COME,SO THAT MANY OTHERS CAN ENJOY THE VOICE THAT WAS TRUELY A GOD SENT.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE LAST OF REBA'S TRADITIONAL COUNTRY ALBUMS!, September 18, 2005

I love this! Everything on here is Reba at her peak! This one ended her run as CMA female vocalist of the year. She never won it again after this was released. But it wasn't because she released this. Its because country music took a trend toward "bubblegum country/pop" and Reba compromised and went with them. That said, this collection is downright superb from first cut to last!! Several had mentioned the song "The Stairs". I will too. It is simply one of the best songs she has ever done!! I also enjoyed the title cut and "I Don't Want to Mention Any Names". In a whole, traditional country music lovers will have a field day with this one!! First class stuff!!

4.0 out of 5 stars REBA'S "TRADITIONAL COUNTRY" SWAN SONG, September 11, 2005

This was it folks!! After this offering, Reba compromised what took her to the top and won her the CMA female vocalist of the year award four times, something she never did again. This CD is not as good as "My Kind of Country" or "Have I Got a Deal for You" but certainly is better than ANYTHING she did afterward with the exception of "For My Broken Heart". No one can top McEntire when it comes to singing traditional country music and the tunes here reflect that statement. Beginning with the haunting title track she never misses a beat!! The production values are splendid on this CD as well with Reba not overdoing her "trademark triple and quadruple syllable phrasing". Also excellent cuts are "Just Across the Rio Grande", "What You Gonna Do About Me" and "I Don't Want to Mention Any Names". "The Girl Who Has Everything", "Someone Else" "I Don't Want to Be Alone" and "I've Still Got the Love We Made" are very good as well. The highlight of the CD is the song "The Stairs", Reba's homage to the battered woman afraid to leave her husband. This track is superb and should have been released as a single!!! This song alone is worth the entire CD!! The only discordant note in this CD and the one that prevents me from giving this CD a five star rating is the inclusion of "Love Will Find Its Way to You". Not that it isn't a good song, it is and Reba is in fine form in it. But it is like a fish out of water amongst the rest of the traditional sounding tunes. "Love Will Find...." is Reba's first entry into the foray of "Bubblegum Pop" which, sadly, doesn't distinguish her from anyone else. The song would have been more appropriate on any of the other CDs she released after this one because it would fit in with her decision to "do what sells". I can't believe its been almost 20 years since this CD was released and since Reba has done a project of entirely "traditional country" replete with steel, fiddles and soaring vocals. I keep praying she'll come "home" again someday, but, I don't think it will ever happen. So I'll just have to be content to listen to everything she put out until 1987, with the exception of course of "For My Broken Heart" which I consider a masterpiece.
