Editorial Review:
Barbara Mandrell is undoubtedly our greatest country music ambassadress. Her career, which has spanned over 30 years, has not only included a massive amount of hit recordings, but her TV show (Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters) in the early '80s - probably the last truly successful variety show - gave the genre incredible exposure, and brought her so much notoriety that she not only won prestigious country music awards, but also the more broad-based People's Choice Awards - nine of them! Her appeal was far and wide because she not only sang, she played many instruments, which was extremely unusual for a woman in the '70s. Audiences responded to her music because it encompassed all styles, even though she was categorized as country. Early on, she adopted Duke Ellington's famous statement that "there are only two kinds of music - good and bad." That assertion governed the way she chose her songs and the manner in which she elected to record them as evidenced by such cover choices as "Married But Not To Each Other," "If Lovin' You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right" and "Woman To Woman" in which she struggled to perfect the beginning spoken intro."I remember saying to my producer Tom Collins, 'I can't do a recitation,'" Mandrell recalls. "He said, 'I don't ever want to hear, 'I can't.' I always say I don't want to hear that either, so I had to do it."Ultimate Collection Reviews:
My Review 
2007-08-25 - 25 Aug, 2007
Truly lovely Lady.
However, I decided that I am going to stick with Janet to the end-one way or the other.
Besides, the whole idea of Mine was half-baked.
This especially by virtue of the fact that I coudn't generate any interest, in Me, in the Lady.
So that's the end of that or as the word goes at the end of the show: Fin.

One Of A Kind
2006-02-27 - Where to start.. where to start.. Barbara Mandrell is one of the best and most beautifuly loved female country musicians of all time. Her untimely unforgettable raspy voice brings back the memories we all once shared in the 70's and 80's. What were you doing when these songs came out? I remember watching The Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters show on TV. hearing her talented voice in each song on the radio. And this collection certainly brings back those memories of each song. Whether you were "SLEEPING SINGLE IN A DOUBLE BED", "BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL", having an "ANGEL IN YOUR ARMS", or "LIVING IN TIMES LIKE THESE", this collection is right for you. I say go buy the cd.. It's the best Barbara Mandrell has out there, where else can you find a collection with as many of her songs on one cd? Buy the cd you won't be disapointed!
