Unlimited Talent clear on this album

One of Reba's best Mercury albums, this yielded her first two number one country hits, Can not even get the blues no more and You're The First Time I've thought about leaving. These Are The Last two songs but the eight ahead of them are of a universally high quality.
The set begins with a series of excellent love songs -I'd say you, Everything I'll Ever Need, What do you know about heartache and Out of the blue. The tempo picks up on Over Under and around.

Perhaps the best song here is I'm not that lonely yet, a superb ballad did bluegrass singer Rhonda Vincent covered for her album, Timeless and True Love. Reba shows That She can therefore do great covers with her excellent renditions of Whoever's watching (Gary Morris) and Old Man River I've come to talk again (Mel McDaniel). Both Gary and Mel are among my favorite country singers of the eighties, but Reba's versions of songs are just hypothesis as good as the originals.

I can understand why many think this is Reba's best original Mercury album. For me, it's a hard choice to make, as I love them all, though I'd probably choose Feel the fire if I were forced to choose. If you do not have any of Reba's early music, the double-CD Oklahoma girl is the best collection to have, all but her early albums are worth listening to - if you can find them.
