Rebecca Lynn Howard - Rebecca Lynn Howard (CD)

All Music Guide

Influenced by the likes of power singers Reba McEntire, Michael Bolton, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey, it's easy to figure out that Rebecca Lynn Howard's debut album is going to have a sound that combines traditional country with contemporary pop. And at only 20-years-old, the singer/songwriter (she wrote or co-wrote 10 of the album's 12 tracks) has created a sound uniquely her own. Having been in the business since she was 10-years-old and written songs recorded by Reba McEntire, John Michael Montgomery, Patty Loveless and Lila McCann, you can hear her experience and stand-out vocals in "I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners" (a ballad Rebecca received a standing ovation for at ~Fan Fair '99 even though the crowd wasn't familiar with her music). Rebecca Lynn Howard offers a little bit of country, a little bit of rock and roll and even some rb and bluegrass combined to create a refreshing new sound for a refreshing new talent.
