Twenty years' worth of country superstar Reba McEntire's engaging music videos are included on Reba: Video Gold 1. The first thing that stands out is their consistent production quality. There isn't a single video from, say, the 1980s--an era that left a lot of artists with embarrassing promotional artifacts--in this collection, beginning with the 1986 "Whoever’s In New England," which casts McEntire as a stay-at-home wife whose busy husband may be cheating on her during business trips. "Sunday Kind of Love" takes a very different approach, setting its pop ballad in a World War II ballroom while, elsewhere, a wounded husband returns home from the war. Another unexpected setting accompanies McEntire’s cover of Don Everly’s "Cathy’s Clown," in which the song’s hard questions about a jilted man are transferred to the Wild West. "Fancy" is the biggest cliché in this anthology, in which Reba plays a big star returning to her rustic roots, while "Is There Life Out There" finds her portraying a beleaguered waitress trying to go to school and be a devoted wife and mother all at once. (Huey Lewis plays her spouse.)

"Does He Love You," a duet with Linda Davis, is a fairly tortured story of a man in love with both of the women singing the song. It feels silly, but the whole thing is ultimately played for a laugh. (Rob Reiner, of all people, makes a little cameo appearance.) "Why Haven't I Heard from You" is the most fun video here, a sassy musical set in a Grecian beauty parlor; McEntire’s appealing but comically rubber face proves a lot of fun. "If You See Him/If You See Her," a duet with Brooks and Dunn, is a very satisfying performance with a little story that finds Kix Brooks playing a mutual friend to both ex-lovers Ronnie Dunn and McEntire. Things take a sentimental turn toward the end with McEntire’s cover of Kenny Rogers' "Sweet Music Man," as well as "What Do You Say" (a maudlin story of a mom dying of cancer) and "He Gets That from Me" (the story of a mother and son getting by after the death of the family patriarch). --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the country queen FINALLY on DVD, November 21, 2006

By	Devin Melancon - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

But before you get rid of your old Reba videos on VHS, know that this DVD does not have Reba's spoken introductions or the background stories that the various VHS collections did. Instead we have a straightforward presentation of 18 of the great lady's music videos, and the 18 on Volume I are:

1. Whoever's In New England
2. The Last One To Know
3. Sunday Kind Of Love
4. Cathy's Clown
5. Rumor Has It
6. Fancy
7. Is There Life Out There
8. Does He Love You
9. Why Haven't I Heard From You
10. And Still
11. Starting Over Again
12. What If?
13. If You See Him / If You See Her
14. What Do You Say
15. I'll Be
16. Sweet Music Man
17. He Gets That From Me
18. You're Gonna Be

I'd have preferred to have the music videos spread out chronologically over both volumes (e.g. Volume One would have covered the 1980s and early 1990s, and Volume Two would pick up from there) but I'm so glad these are finally on DVD that I won't complain!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the BEST in country music videos!, November 21, 2006

By	C. McCoy "siege2000" (Pound, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Reba McEntire has been called the Queen of Country Music and the videos on this collection proove why! She is an amazing vocalist and she uses her videos to display the emotion in each song. She is the video pioneer in country music and as a young artist she understood the importance of the music video. It was, and still is, the perfect way for the artist to give the fans something extra. Reba has always given her fans the best and releasing her videos is the best way to show your fans how much you love them! Thanks Reba!
