Reba McEntire Album: “All the Women I Am [CD/DVD] [Deluxe Edition] ”

Her previous album, Keep On Loving You, was a solid album (very good cd) but there were a couple of songs on which I felt she should've passed. However, this album I lovee EVERY track!!! She seems to exude more soul on this album!! She exemplifies how to blend soul and the heart of country. She leaves no wonder why is she called the Queen of Country. They did very well to release Turn On The Radio as the lead single. Also, I was floored when heard Reba's cover (live) of Beyonce's If I Were a Boy. Reba certainly made the song her own. Although, in a recent interview about recording the song she didn't seem too enthusiastic about the song. ? It's easy to see when Reba loves a song. For instance, she loves Cry--and you will, too. I could analyze every song but given that I JUST NOW listened to each song--I'm still reeling in the exceptional talent that Reba put on this album!!! You will love this album....

I loved "Keep On Lovin' You", and I thought she could not do better than that, espcially after all these years, and the not-eye-opening "Turn On The Radio". Don't get me wrong, I love TOTR, and it's so Carrie Underwood-ish, and I love Carrie. It's just, it's not representative enough to show how good the album is!

Stand-out's:

"Turn On The Radio": Great great track, boy-trashing type. It's sad that it had such a monogeneous video.

"If I Were A Boy": Loved the Beyonce's rendition (I bought "I Am...Sasha Fierce" too) an this iseven better. Sure Reba is not powerhouse like Bey, but Reba makes the song herself.

"The Bridge You Burn": Fan-favorite. It's so great, another boy-trashing song. Love the fiddle!

"All The Women I Am": Lyrically nothing really special but it's still a great track to listen to.

"A Little Want To": A very cute uplifting warm song!

Overall a really good listen! A solid effort!

All The Women I Am is a great title for this CD. Each song reflects just that; the many sides to Reba. She's soft,hard,sultry,fun,powerful and yes vunerable. I really enjoy each song on this CD-no skip overs for me. However, I do have a few favorites. CRY is a beautiful country ballad. Reba's vocals on this one glide like silk. A LITTE WANT TO is 100% all Reba. This one has single written all over it. THE DAY SHE GOT DIVORCED is probably the one I have listened to the most. It's so interesting and get's better with each play. SOMEBODY'S CHELSEA is probably one of the best story songs I've heard in a long while. WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD will bring tears to your eyes. Reba does what Reba does best on this one as she can tug at your heart strings with the emotional cry in her voice. This CD is one of Reba's best.

This cd is absolutely completely amazing! I love Reba even after 34 cds she's more on top of her game than ever. One of the lines in the song All the Women I am is: I still got the Okie dust in my bones, but I could light up NYC with my red hair and rhinstones and she so could! the cd is sooooooooo fantastic- get it believe me! Gota love Reba! woohoo!

Very few artists are known by their first name; people like Cher, Elton, and Dolly are entertainers when upon hearing their names people know exactly who they are. Reba is indeed another. Reba is also one of the five most popular female country music singing acts in the history of the industry along with Dolly, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, and Loretta Lynn. She is also a singer who has proven time and time again that she has staying power in a record business filled with women under twenty like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift who get constant radio airplay, while their mentors are pushed to the way side. This certainly doesn't apply to the red-head from Oklahoma.

Reba's new CD (her 26th studio record) should get plenty of radio attention and be another huge seller as "All The Women I Am" is filled with great songs that are country sounding enough, yet have that 2010 feel. The lead single, "Turn On The Radio" has already become a #10 single on the country music charts and there are more to follow. Other greats here include the Reba co-written "Somebody's Chelsea", one of the greatest story songs Reba has ever recorded; "When Love Gets A Hold Of You" that has a neat tempo; "A Little Want To", a sassy song sung the Reba way; and "I Want A Cowboy", a fun dance mix song that will get plenty of play at dance clubs. The jewel, though, here is Reba's amazing rendition of Beyonce's #1 pop hit "If I Were A Boy" , a song Reba makes her own. Reba's vocals are more powerful on this song that nearly any she has ever recorded, and hopefully the record company will realize its potential in becoming a #1 country single. In all a total of 11 songs that will satisfy all of Reba's fans.

As a bonus there is a deluxe DVD that includes the video for "Turn On The Radio", as well as backstage filming of Reba making it; Reba's appearance on CMT Unplugged that features her singing "If I Were A Boy"; her AOL Sessions of her huge hit from last year "Consider Me Gone"; and much more.

During its first week of release "All The Women I Am" sold 64,174 copies making its way to #3 on the Billboard Country Chart and hitting #7 on the Pop Chart.
