Reba McEntire
It's Your Call
1992

Other than her greatest hits collections, this is my favorite Reba album. I absolutely love every song. There's not a stinker in the bunch. Even non-country fans should check this out. I promise you'll find at least one song that you'll enjoy!

1. It's Your Call
It has always baffled me why this song never made any of the greatest hits albums. When it first came out it got quite a bit of radio airplay. So maybe this is a "typical" country song, but I still love it. Something in Reba's voice always hits home with me, and I've never heard her sing anything that sounded bad.

2. Straight From You
Love the steel guitar on this song. Another winner, IMO.

3. Take It Back
Deserving of its spot on the Greatest Hits Volume III album. I absolutely love this song and its video. Look out for the awesome guitar and saxophone solos!

4. Baby's Gone Blues
Amazing vocals on this song. It's always been one of my favorites of anything Reba's done.

5. The Heart Won't Lie duet with Vince Gill
This is my favorite Reba duet. Actually, Vince Gill is Reba's most frequent dueting partner. They always do incredible work together. I just adore this song. Also, a little side note: This song was co-written by Kim Carnes.

6. One Last Good Hand
Another unsung Reba classic. I believe I hear both Vince Gill and Linda Davis on background vocals. They're both credited and it sounds an awful lot like them to me, but I could be wrong.

7. He Wants To Get Married
The final lyrics of this song are just so powerful, to me. Listen to the song without the lyrics nearby and you'll see what I mean. *tear*

8. For Herself
Beautiful acoustic guitar on this song. Some people would probably think this song is kind of lame, but it was such an inspiration for me when I was younger.

"Some how she always knew...She had the strength inside...And even if she fell she'd survive....In spite of all the tears she may cry...This is how she has to live her life...As hard as it may be...She has find out for herself."

9. Will He Ever Go Away
Another great song that is oft forgotten

10. Lighter Shade of Blue
Here's proof that you never really get over your pain - you just learn how to deal with it.

My wife has the Greatest Hits Volumes II and III, but I didn't recognize any of these songs by title! I'll have to give them a listen!

Reba seems to choose songs wisely, like Martina.

One question-if they are credited, why do you THINK it's them? Do you not believe them?? LOL!

It doesn't have the background vocalists and instrumentalists listed after each individual song. They're all listed in mass at the end of the liner notes, right before Reba's thank yous. That's why I wasn't for sure that it was them on that song.

And I've always liked "The Heart Won't Lie". Vince is one of my favorite artists.

I only recognize the Vince Gill duet from this album which I really like. Great review.

Very nice review, Lora!

I like quite a few songs of Reba's from the 80s, but I'm not as familiar with her more recent material, as I kind of got out of listening to country from about 1988 until recently. This sounds like a very good album!

Sounds a lot like me! I strayed away from country for a few years after having listened to it since birth practically. But I'm back to my roots now, thankfully!
