Listener Reviews & Comments
Reba McEntire referred to It's Your Call as the "second chapter" to 1991's For My Broken Heart. Broken Heart was an intentionally somber tribute to her band members who had recently died in a plane crash. Thankfully, It's Your Call is a lot more upbeat than that gloomy release, as were subsequent follow-ups. Country music has/had no need for a Morticia Addams type. First off, there's "One Last Good Hand," a breezily optimistic look at longterm love. Its bouncy melody and simple lyrics were a nice change of pace. Also, "Take It Back," which is Reba at her most engaging. This woman informs her man that she KNOWS the score, and would rather do without him than accept his philandering. Sassy! Ballads, however, dominate the album, which is to be expected on a Reba release. "Straight From You" is a thematic rehash of a prior hit "Rumor Has It" while the title track covers similar territory, except that we're now dealing with facts and not mere rumors. The latter is quintessential Reba: a woman scorned, but never, EVER, wallowing in self-pity. Reba's voice has always been superior to the majority of her material, and It's Your Call, her 20th album, was no exception. She rises to the occasion and makes each cut at least listenable, and often involving. There were no pop remakes such as "Respect" or "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" this time around. Just good solid country. Overall, it was one of her better releases.
