Reba
Reba is the fifteenth studio album by American country singer Reba McEntire, released on April 25, 1988. Gone were the honky tonk stable steel guitars and fiddles of My Kind of Country and Have I Got a Deal for You, to be replaced by a highly produced and orchestrated Bakersfield-like sound. This did not diminish the album's sales, as it was her third #1 country album, and two of its tracks, I Know How He Feels and New Fool at an Old Game, reached #1 on the Billboard country singles charts. A remake of an old jazz vocal standard made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Sunday Kind of Love, reached the #5 spot. Also covered was Respect, a song made famous by Aretha Franklin.Wikipedia

AllMusic
Reba, her 13th regular studio album, featured no steel guitars or fiddles; the most prominent instruments were the keyboards -- piano and a DX-7 synthesizer -- played by John Jarvis. Rock drummer Russ Kunkel, . . . pounded out the crisp beats, and Wayne Nelson popped his bass strings as if he were doing a funk session on the leadoff track, . . . . Reba spent eight weeks at number one on the country charts, more than any previous McEntire album.
