Reba Mcentire Live
On this impressive live set, Reba McEntire avoids letting unfettered spontaneity outrun her fondness for state-of-the art production and her flair for showmanship. That said,Liveis hard to overlook, since it gives listeners a taste of her assured stage presence, which has always been a huge factor in McEntire's immense popularity. This 19-cut collection also offers a relatively generous sampling of her biggest hits from the 1980s, along with lively renditions of endearing oldies like "Cathy's Clown," "Respect," "San Antonio Rose," andDolly Parton's "Jolene."--Bob Allen
