Behind the Scene Reviews: THIS IS THE REBA I LOVE!! 2005-09-24 - This is an excellent CD from her Mercury years and I would stand it up against her mediocre 90s material any day, any how, any time!!!
THEY WEREN'T WRONG!! 2005-09-23 - Every one was commenting on the song "You Really Better Love Me After This" so I ordered this and I got it today and all I can say is "they weren't wrong". This has to absolutely be the best song that Reba has ever recorded. It makes everything she has done before or after pale!!! The song is hauntingly brilliant and Reba's vocal is so spectactular that naturally anything is going to pale. One keeps listening to it over and over again and is held spellbound!! This is the main reason to buy this CD. What I can't figure out is why Mercury didn't have the foresight to release this as a single or why Reba doesn't include it in her concert performances because it is truly amazing! I'd give her ten thousand standing ovations just to hear her do this one!! What a song! The rest of the album aint bad either.
OH MAN!!!! 2005-09-23 - Go with this one people!! This is Reba at her very, very best and what she does with "Are You Really Gonna Love After This" is superior to anything she did before or since!! This is classic stuff!! I also like the western swing of "Needles and Pins"!! "Nickel Dreams" is achingly beautiful and "There Aint No Future in This" proves that Reba has no peer in singing those traditional country tunes!! Oh man, great stuff!!
ARE YOU REALLY GONNA LOVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEE???? 2005-09-22 - So sings a longing Reba in what has to be one of the finest songs she has ever recorded! I can listen to that one song and never get tired. If you want to learn how to sing you should hear Reba on that song "You Really Better Love Me After This". Its a song that would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up!!!!! This album is worth a mind of diamonds for that song alone!! Reba if you're reading this, please, please, resurrect this song and put it in your live show! Its the most beautiful, haunting song you've ever done!!!
STUNNING!!! 2005-09-22 - One reviewer pointed out that Reba's time at Mercury was a waste. I disagree. She recorded some of her best songs there and this album is proof. It contains some stunning Reba stuff with tasteful (not loud) production values. Today Reba is loud and over the top. On this CD though she doesn't oversell and realizes that too much of a good thing can hurt. She wisely understates here and thats what makes this one so endearing! I love it!!
