Format:Audio CD
Reba's early recordings for Mercury never strayed far from traditional country but after she switched to MCA she recorded the album Just a little love (with just a hint of a pop-country flavor) followed by a series of firmly traditional albums - My kind of country, Have I got a deal, Whoever's in New England, Merry Christmas to you and What am I gonna do about you - that put her alongside Ricky Skaggs, the Judds and George Strait as a hero to fans of traditional country music. Randy Travis broke through to the big time during this period.
I confess that I never really understood how Reba's singles were chosen. I bough the albums as they appeared and liked to guess which tracks would become singles and I was nearly always wrong. Of course, everything that Reba recorded during this period was brilliant and she was very successful on the country charts with these songs. Perhaps the most famous song here is Whoever's in New England. Apart from that, my favorites here are Just a little love, How blue and Have I got a deal for you.
So this compilation, containing Reba's biggest hits from the period, is one that all traditional country fans will cherish. If you became a Reba fan because of her later recordings, this compilation may come as something of a shock to you.

Anyone who knows Reba's music will agree with me when I describeit as terrific. The entire CD is filled with one great song after another. If you ever see Reba in concert you will become a fan instantly. She is one of the best musical entertainers on the decade.

The Best of Reba
10 Oct 2001
Format:Audio CD
I love this album. It was basically the soundtrack of my life for a while after I first got it, I hardly listened to anything else for months. Reba can get your toe tapping one moment and then make you cry your eyes out the next. All of the songs are great. It's nice to listen to music where the lyrics tell a story, unlike a lot of the popular music of today. Terrific album of Reba's early hits, highly recommended.

THIS IS THE ONLY REBA CD THAT I LIKE!!
4 Nov 2005
Format:Audio CD
Given the fact that I have only heard two of her CDs, this one and the god-awful "If You See Him" I rate this one 5 stars. If the albums of which these songs came off of are half as good as this CD then Reba was certainly the country queen of the eighties. I enjoy this CD very much.

REBA'S VERY BEST!!
30 Oct 2005
Format:Audio CD
Reba was on a roll and this CD shows it. Too bad she couldn't maintain the momentum with her future releases after this greatest hits album was released. Enjoy this one because she sure changed after this phase.
