Please note that this is a re-issue of a CD previously tithed I'm not that lonely, NOT a re-issue of her debut MCA album, with which it shares a title.
Reba has, for a long time, been one the finest singers in country music and these live recordings provide yet further proof, as if that were needed. They were recorded at Doc Severinsen's Music Showplace in Oklahoma City. No date is given but it is likely to be around 1985, given the track selection. Around that time, Reba's recordings were firmly rooted in tradition and that is reflected in these recordings. Pop fans will find nothing of interest here.
Many of the songs are those that Reba recorded during her years on Mercury. Her first MCA album, Just a little love, is represented by five tracks and there is just one more recent song - Red roses won't work now, from Have I got a deal for you? It is, of course, possible that she was singing this in concert for a while before she recorded it in the studio.
There are three songs here that have never appeared on any of Reba's studio albums, these being Up where we belong (a cover of the Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes classic), Islands in the stream (a cover of the Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton classic) and Open road (Hot rod guitar), a song that I've not come across elsewhere. The first two are duets featuring Reba's brother Pake. Elsewhere, the album is filled with live versions of her early hits and album tracks including Can't even get the blues, You lift me up to heaven, Today all over again and Just a little love.
Reba's dedicated fans will no doubt want this anyway, but as an introduction to her early music, this is also excellent.

This album was less successful than usual for Reba – it only yielded one top ten hit in the country charts – but I always loved it and still do. It is a classic slice of eighties country, not as traditional as the albums that followed it, but more solidly country than most of Reba's nineties albums.
The title track was the big hit from the album and follows a classic country theme of a couple determined to stick together despite adversity. Poison sugar is a warning to other women about a man who can't be trusted. I'm getting over you sounds like it should be a feisty song, except that the woman is failing utterly to get over her former partner. However, she does get over him in He broke your memory last night. Broken relationships are further explored in Every second someone breaks a heart, Tell me what's so good about goodbye and If only. As a contrast, there is You are always there for me, about a relationship that is strong. Congratulations is an excellent original song, not to be confused with any other song of the title. The album closes with Silver eagle, a rousing, up-tempo song about life on the road.
Reba has recorded many fine albums but this is one of my favorites among them.

Just A Little Love is a 2005 release from Delta Records which features live concert extracts, not to be confused with the original MCA studio album from 1984 of the same name. Sound quality is muffled, with vocals at times giving way to the instruments. Buyer beware, but it's in the price.
