Reba McEntire Heart To Heart

When you stop to think about it, Reba McEntire has had an amazing streak of success. Granted, it's been marred by several unplanned events along the way, but that turmoil is all overshadowed when you hear her sparkling vocal work. In the tradition of the great Patsy Cline, Reba offered her interpretations of songs that have run the gamut of emotions straight from the heart and directly to their target. Chart-making hits from this album - a rollercoaster ride of sentimentality in song from beginning to end - were the brokenhearted tale, the No. 5 "Today All Over Again" and the classic pop song once popularized by the Platters, "Only You (And You Alone)," that reached No. 13 for Reba (comparisons to Patsy are inevitable). Accordingly, "Love By Love" provided the appropriate lyric from its verses that ended up as the title of this heartwarming and pleasant down-home treat of an album - courtesy of a fiery-haired superstar in the world of entertainment.
