Vinyl Me, Please (VMP) is a music company and record of the month club whose mission is to experience music more deeply. It is a song seemingly written for the occasion, one that might have sounded maudlin without the simple arrangement and the raw emotion that Reba put into it.” The understandable emotion in her usually strong, unwavering voice is audible throughout there are shakes that don’t sound intentional, words that trail off instead of being hit with her typical punch. In the studio, she could barely get through it. It’s most potent on the album’s closer, ‘If I Had Only Known’ - a song so gutting McEntire has rarely performed it live. “If country music so often pulls from the blues’ signature blend of pathos and humor, For My Broken Heart doesn’t shy from expressing heartfelt, deep sadness without an easy antidote. “These are stories without redemption, without a cheerful twist or upbeat perspective,” Weiner shares in the new booklet. The album is currently certified 4x platinum by the RIAA, and remains the best selling album of her 40+ year career. The album was the country star’s tribute to the lives lost of her band and crew following a devastating plane that crashed into the side of a San Diego mountain range on the morning of March 16, 1991. The album saw McEntire team with Tony Brown for co-producing credits for the second time. For My Broken Heart is McEntire’s 16th studio album and features the mega hits “Is There Life Out There,” “The Greatest Man I Never Knew,” “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia” and the title track.
