Rebecca Lynn Howard's bio describes the 20-year-old Kentuckian as working at her career since age 10. That may seem like hype in a time when karaoke singers land Nashville record deals, but there's some substance here. Reba, Lila McCann, John Michael Montgomery, and Howard's fellow Kentuckian Patty Loveless have already covered her original songs, and her voice possesses the searing, primal soulfulness of Loveless or even a Dolly Parton. She fully reveals her gifts on the sweetly vulnerable "You're Not a Memory Yet" and two snappy, spare honky-tonkers: "Melancholy Blue" (penned by Tom Douglas and Harlan Howard) and "Was It As Hard to Be Together." Of course, producer Mark Wright goes and shoehorns her into predictable, radio-friendly, assembly-line Nashville formulas much of the time, epitomized by the gimmicky "Heartsounds" and "Believe It or Not," a numbingly dull, Whitney Houston/Celine Dion-inspired power ballad. Howard has real potential, if she could avoid conforming to Music Row's same old same old. --Rich Kienzle

Rebecca Lynn Howard's impressive debut positioned the Eastern Kentucky native as both a Patty Loveless acolyte and a formidable songwriter, contributing "I Don't Paint Myself into Corners" to the Trisha Yearwood songbook. Now comes her follow-up, which makes concessions to country's increasing inclination toward pure pop, even as it also includes some of the staunchest hillbilly music to come out of Nashville in years. "Jesus and Bartenders," Larry Cordle and Leslie Satcher's exquisite honky-tonk paean to both, weighs in as the album's biggest throwback to True Country, while Howard's own "It Didn't Look Like Alcohol," a poignant song of a man's struggle with unseen demons, comes in a close second. These exceptionally well crafted tunes seem even more extraordinary when bumped up against such forgettable pop as "Life Had Other Plans" and "Memorized." But the big-voiced Howard builds a bridge between the two styles on the title song, in which a wife reels from her husband's confession of infidelity. More than any other recent album, Forgive epitomizes country's current schizophrenia. There's no question which format will burn in your memory, even if it's the other that will likely make Rebecca Lynn Howard a star. --Alanna Nash

Excellent.......2007-04-23

This album sounds great...the song choices are good, background music is awesome, lyrics are cool, and Rebecca's voice is good. I was not disappointed with this album and I listened to some of the songs many times over. Life Had other plans for me and Forigve are my two fav. songs...absolutely beautiful! Great album! Highly recommended. Some of the songs are a little Redneck...but I am a Redneck, so I enjoy them. Even if you aren't a Redneck, you'll still like at least a few of the songs (or at least you should). Good album.

Magnificient Achievement.......2007-02-09

Rebecca Lynn Howard's sophmore album combines honky-tonk with sweet pop/country to create an exceptional sound. She is a rare talent as both singer and songwriter whose heart is poured into every note. All country music aspires to be personal to the listener, however, this record resonates like few others. I had a similar experience to the one described in "Didn't Look Like Alcohol," and likewise "Life Had Other Plans" hits home. "Forgive," which charted at #12, is an anthem and some of the best songwriting. "Dancin' In God's Country" is an upbeat, twangy tune.

The greatest music evokes intensely personal responses like, "I felt you were singing about my life," and this one does it. There is a conviction in her voice and lyrics reminicient of fellow Kentuckian Patty Loveless. These two songbirds share a connection, Rebecca sings on Patty's Mountain Soul, a recommendation for anyone who likes Forgive. RLH claims Whitney Houston and Celine Dion as influences, but they don't have the conviction or soul that she has. Patty, Loretta, and Dolly may be more appropriate comparisons.I recommend this CD highly, and any record company troubles RLH experiences erode any faith I may have left in the Nashville music establishment. I hope for more of this in the future.

It's ok........2005-08-15

Honestly, I'd have to say it's an average country album. Nothing specific really, I just can't find any other songs that click for me! I bought it because of Forgive, and honestly that's about the only thing I'd use it for.

If you've just heard Forgive, I'd recommend buying a digital download of just that song and saving your money for another album.

On the way to Graceland..........2004-08-18

I took my wife and parents to the Grand Ole Opry in October 2003, just after this album was released. RLH sang two songs, a funny one about breaking up with a boyfried and "Forgive". When she belted out that ballad, I turned to my wife and said, "She's gonna be a huge star one day." After the show, of course, we stopped in the gift shop and grabbed the CD. Good stuff.

10 Star Album.......2007-03-13

This album deserves 10 Stars! Rebecca Lynn gives all she has when she sings. You can feel her (literally) right through the music. She delivers w/ power and gets into the song. How in the hell could anyone give this album less than 5 stars? No, this isn't as good as the album "Forgive"...but it's still damn good!

Magical debut album from a Patty Loveless fan.......2005-07-25

I remember that it took a long time for this album to appear but it was certainly worth the wait. I don't know how many songs Rebecca recorded before this album was finally released but the composition of the album seems to have changed a few times along the way. On my copy, the booklet gives details and lyrics for twelve songs (the same twelve as listed on the track listing here and in that order) but only eleven of them actually appear on the album (and not in the order they are listed) - one song (I don't paint myself into corners) being replaced by another (Dancing in God's country) that isn't mentioned in the booklet. I'll concede that the replacement track is one of the best tracks on an album that was in any case excellent, but I'd still like to hear the other song, especially as the replacement can be found on the follow-up album (Forgive) - assuming that the track listing is correct. I see from other reviews that some people have the CD exactly as listed so it may be that the album was changed for release in the UK, but the booklet certainly wasn't.

Rebecca co-wrote most of the songs here, at a time when she was (I think) still a teenager. No doubt this explains the upbeat nature of most of the songs, since she won't have suffered too many of the problems that usually come with age and experience. Even the love songs are generally full of optimism and hope although she occasionally shows that she can do sad songs too - Melancholy blue (one of the few songs that Rebecca didn't co-write) proves that. Of the songs that Rebecca co-wrote, three songs (Was it as hard to be together, You're not a memory yet, Believe it or not) show that there is some sadness in Rebecca's life - or else she wrote these songs by observing what other people go through - but the rest of the album has a really upbeat feel to it that those four songs cannot dampen.

Rebecca shows in a couple of songs that she in an outdoor type. You might expect this of a country singer but so many of them like the city life these days. In one song (Move me), Rebecca complains about yet another Friday night dinner and movie - what she really wants is to go swimming in an icy creek, to go hang gliding and bungee jumping and a whole list of other outdoor activities. Another song (Out here in the water) is about going fishing in the lake.

Among the upbeat love songs are Jesus Daddy and you, When my dreams come true, Heart sounds and You're real, all of which are really happy songs. But the best songs of are two up-tempo songs to get those toes tapping - the aforementioned Dancing in God's country and the final track, Tennessee in my windshield, in which Rebecca sings about leaving her Kentucky home to pursue a music career in Nashville, driving down Route 65 with a Patty Loveless record playing on the radio.

As an upbeat contemporary country album that traditional country fans can appreciate, this one is hard to beat. Rebecca may not be able to make up her mind what color her hair should be (the booklet shows pictures of her with hair of different colors) but she started her career with an outstanding country album - one that her hero, Patty Loveless, would surely approve of.

Someone got fired over this one.......2005-06-08

Imagine: you are the promotions manager for this label, and you hear this cd for the first time. You listen to the first song and you start to cringe: why did they arrange the song like that? There is no way she will hit that note, and she does, without breaking a sweat. The PM orders a Lexus, and then looks at her; she can sing, and she has got the looks. He thinks: I'm going to be RICH.

And the shame of it all is that he should be rich; what a great cd, what a voice, and it's sad it didn't go farther than it did. I would fire lots of people on the label, but not her. She is A+.

GREAT!.......2003-03-29

This is just as good as her other album - buy them as a set and play them constantly!

Wonderful! And it's time for everyone else to know it!!!.......1999-10-28

Rebecca Lynn Howard should already be getting way more attention than she is. Her single When My Dreams Come True is such an awesome song. And the video is very cool too! I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Howard this past summer at my radio internship. She came and performed a few of the songs that will be on her album. One of which was Out Here In The Water, which is also on this CD. And let me tell you, she just blew me away and everyone else there too with her incredible voice! Even the non-country fans who saw her were totally impressed! And she is also one of the nicest people I have ever met! This girl definitely has bright future ahead! I wish her the best of luck.

A Must Buy Single!.......1999-09-05

I was not only shocked, but amazed to see Rebecca Lynn's video of "When My Dreams Come True". She truly has an excellent voice and such a clever song. I am sure she is county music's next big star! After growing up with Rebecca, I am glad to see her develop into such an excellent performer and vocalist. If you don't have this CD, get it! If you do, spread the word! Wes
