Reba McEntire Album: “I'll Be”

This is an interesting Import by Reba McEntire, titled ILL BE. It features 9 songs from her 1995 album STARTING OVER, which was sorely frowned upon, as its a great collection of cover songs, yes they were less country but it was a nice way to celebrate her 20 years in the industry, it is badly underrated. From her past album, SO GOOD TOGETHER, are the top 10 hits "I'll Be" and the touching ballad "What Do You Say", which is one of her better songs from the late 90's. As well included is the song "So Good Together". Overall its an interesting collection of songs from here and there, consisting mostly of her STARTING OVER days, but also a stirring rendition of the Beatles song "If I Fell", which is worth the price of this CD.

This CD is a compilation released for the UK. Great CD. If I Fell is not available on any USA albums of Reba and it's a great song. Cover of a Beatles tune. Most of the other songs are available on the album Starting Over, which I love! Some of the other songs are from the album We're So Good Together. All in all, great CD. All but two songs are available on other albums. Those two songs are If I Fell and What If.

This is one of Reba's best CD's. She sings several pop songs, such as some by the Beatles and does it beautifully. She is one of those rare singers who can cross the media between country and pop without any apparent effort. She is an amazing artist and truly proves it here.

This collections is such a stunning example of Reba's range that you must own it! But why wasn't it released in the US??? Great vocals on great covers. The perfect match.
