Product Description

CD Description
The challenge posed by the title of Reba McEntire's latest album, READ MY MIND, is simple enough: she wants to be a popstar! From the opening bluesy/jazz saxophone to fully blown-out orchestrations, the dynamic redhead is testing crossover waters that proved treacherous in the past when she encountered the wrath of critics and fans.
It's difficult for Reba not to be taken as country; she has a panhandle-sized Oklahoma twang, and an ache in her voice that could rattle Patsy Cline. Her vocals are clean and full of depth, and her slurred phrasing adapts to any style of music. What makes READMY MIND country is Reba herself; recorded by Celine Dion, there would be no question the album was a pop release. Even when Reba gets down to down-home tradition, it's offset by arousing R&B choir.
READ MY MIND is accessible. Reba's trademark note-augmentation (she rolls one note into 1,000) isunder control as are her growls and hiccup-like vocal calisthenics.
The AIDS-narrative "She Thinks His Name Was John" is a triumph--understated, dramatic, compelling and stark.But then she brings the mood right back up with "Why Haven't I Heard From You", an R&B shuffle drowned in horns. Read our minds Reba, y'all crossed over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best original Reba album of the nineties, 6 Jan 2004
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Of the many brilliant albums that Reba recorded in the nineties, this may be the best. I can think of a few of her eighties albums that I like even better, but not by much. The style of this album could be described as contemporary nineties country. It is some way from the traditional country that Reba recorded in the mid-eighties, but still has enough of a country feel to appeal to most country fans,

The outstanding song here is She thinks his name was John, a very sad story about a woman who died of AIDS, Despite the fact that it only tells the story and does not offer advice or opinion, it was too sensitive for a lot of American country radio stations, otherwise it might have been a much bigger hit than it was.

And still, The heart is a lonely hunter and Till you love me (all great love songs, but very different from each other) were all country number one hits, while Why haven't I heard from you (a brilliant up-tempo song) was also a huge country hit. The opening track, Everything that you want, is particularly interesting. It has a jazz-blues feel to it more like I'd expect on an album from New Orleans or Memphis than Nashville. Read my mind is a song about a woman unable to express her feelings. I won't stand in line, I wish that I could tell you and I wouldn't wanna be you are all wonderful songs.

With five singles released from the album, you might not feel the need to buy this set if you've already got those tracks on compilations but I don't think it could have been easy to select the songs to be released as singles and that's why this album is so good.

No self-respecting Reba fan should be without this album, which should also appeal to anybody who only wants some of Reba's music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reba reaches the stars once again!, 1 Dec 2002
By A Customer
I didn't think i would ever be able to say that I could pick a favourite Reba album...but after hearing Read My Mind I changed my mind! This album took my love for Reba's music to an entirely new level! Read My Mind is comprised of a wonderful combination of tracks which take you through every emotion and match every mood that you feel! If you haven't heard any of her music before I would say that this is THE album to start with! Whilst all of the songs have lyrics with hard hitting meanings, I love the way there is a combination of uptempo melodies and softer ballads. The lyrics and beat of 'Why Haven't I Heard From You' will have you in fine form, tapping and dancing away, whilst the softer and more serious 'She Thinks His Name Was John' is so heart rendering that it will bring tears to your eyes! And the title track is one not to be missed either! This CD shows us just why country music really rocks....Ms McEntire has reached the stars once again with this album!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great Reba CD which included some of her best work yet!, 14 April 2001
By A Customer
This CD is a brilliant mix of typical Reba 'story songs' with a few upbeat numbers thrown in. The title track, 'Read My Mind' is a beautiful song which I'm sure many fans will relate to - as with many of Reba's other songs, they're about real life. One of the most poignant songs on the CD is 'She Thinks His Name Was John', the story of a woman living with HIV/AIDS. The tracks 'Why Haven't I Heard From You' & 'I Won't Stand In Line' are upbeat fun songs filled with messages of taking a stand & independance! On the other side of the coin is the wonderful ballad, 'Till You Love Me', Reba's expertise in delivering a love song is certainly heard throughout this song. This CD is a must for any true Reba fan!
