Free Music Notes for Reba #1's
Free Music Review: Best Reba Collection, includes several hits that didn't reach # 1
Hit: 5 Stars
Despite its title, not all of the recordings on this two-disc, 35 track set made it to number one. After including her first two chart-toppers on the Mercury label, the main selection criteria seemed to be to incorporate at least one single from all of her subsequent MCA albums, regardless of their chart peak (for instance, "Ring On Her Finger, Time On Her Hands," from the Starting Over album of cover tunes is found here, even though it barely knicked the top 10).
Given the leniency in assembling tracks, they should have included Reba's remake of Bobbie Gentry's "Fancy." Although it only hit #8 on the Billboard charts, it frequently tops fan polls asking for their favorite Reba single or video. The omitted AIDS saga "She Thinks His Name Was John" has also remained one of Reba's most memorable recordings (in spite of peaking outside the country chart top 10).
There are also two new tracks on this set for the Reba fan who already owns all of her prior hits. "You're Gonna Be" is a touching tale of a mother offering encouragement to her child while "Love Needs A Holiday" is a catchy romp depicting a married couple's need for some time to themselves. Both are first-rate.
Over the past twenty years, Reba has reigned as the most successful female country artist at radio and retail. Her evolution from jilted sob sister on early hits such as "Somebody Should Leave" and "The Last One To Know" to independent woman on more recent recordings like "Is There Life Out There" and "I'm A Survivor" has been impressive, and a hefty box set covering all of Reba's Mercury and MCA singles will surely prove to be one of country music's most essential retrospectives someday. For now, #1s serves as a strong Reba sampler.
Reba #1's Poster
Two things hit you while listening to this two-disc, 35-song collection. First: Reba McEntire, one of country's most twangy, yet recognizable and singular voices, has consistently chosen material that captures life's dramatic moments of consequence, whether it's the decision to leave a romantic coupling, face up to a failed relationship with a parent, or handle the passing of a loved one. And second: in the course of her 23-year career, several of her 33 #1 hits slipped up to the top of the charts virtually unnoticed, and seem hardly memorable today (e.g., "I Know How He Feels"). Yet the best of her work ("Whoever's in New England," "Rumor Has It") remains as emotionally resonant today as when it first appeared. Not only a fine singer, however, McEntire picked up the mantle of woman-to-woman songs first carried by Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. Long before Martina McBride began singing songs of social relevance, McEntire had been encouraging and empowering women to change their lives--to look beyond their roles as dutiful wives and mothers ("Is There Life Out There")--if perhaps more subtly than McBride. Reba #1's contains two new tunes: "You're Gonna Be," a mother's loving lessons for her child; and "Love Needs a Holiday," which recounts a married couple's much-needed motel getaway. The latter sounds like it could be the theme song to a spin-off of McEntire's TV sitcom, but the former, much like her most-loved songs, comes packed with wisdom for anyone attempting to navigate the unsettling storms of life. --Alanna NashCountry Music CDs
