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 r&b and bluegrass combined to create a refreshing new sound for a refreshing new talent. ~ Maria Konicki Dinoia, All Music Guide
