The album that made her a superstar

By classic country
This is the album that made Barbara a superstar in music. It’s a pop album start to finish, showing that she could sing anything. I Feel The Hurt Coming On was a miss on MCA’s part and should have been a single. Early Fall is another standout. I Believe You was recorded by The Carpenters. It’s just a great 70’s classic pop record!
Awesome album

This is THE best album Barbara ever did, in my opinion. It’s hard to pick a favorite but if I did it would have to be “Moods”.

Classic Barbara Mandrell. I originally had in 8 - track in 78. This album started Barbara on her next career path. It is about time this was released - more need to be released.
Great Country/Pop Classic

This 1978 album marked a turning point in Barbara Mandrell’s career. “Sleeping Single in A Double Bed” became her first single to hit #1 on the Billboard country charts. The follow-up single, a cover of the R&B classic, “If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don’t Want To Be Right”, also reached #1 and crossed over to the Adult Contemporary chart. She may have been “country when country wasn’t cool”, but there’s not a lot of country sound here. These are glossy pop productions that helped paved the way for her hit NBC variety show with her sisters a couple of years later. The hit singles are certainly the strongest of the ten songs in this set, but another stand-out is “I Feel The Hurt Coming On”, a soulful arrangement that was covered by R&B artist, Dorothy Moore, the following year. (Moore also covered “Double Bed” on that same LP.) It’s great to see this classic finally available again for old fans to remember and for new generations to discover.
