Reba McEntire - Greatest Hits Volume III: I m A Survivor

Description

NEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILEReba specializes in encouraging ordinary women to face their trials with courage, perseverance, and hope. Consisting mostly of 1990s hits, Volume III deviates from this mission just twice: "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," which is either a slice of Southern gothic or pure kitsch, take your pick; and "She Thinks His Name Is John," a morality tale that mistakes pity for empathy. More typically, Reba shouts, "You go girl!" "Fallin Out of Love," for example, is about a woman who tells her cheating ex to take a hike when he comes crawling back. "I m a Survivor" (her sitcom theme and one of the disc s three new recordings) somehow finds common cause between the struggles of a single mom and a preemie. If only there were some real-life scale to it all. Instead, Reba the Diva transforms each song into a grandiose anthem, where even the quietest beginnings end with her revving up for one more key change. --David Cantwell
