Editorial Reviews

There's something magical about the musical marriage of a timeless song and a compelling voice, and no where is that more evident than on Louise Mandrell's new album Playing Favorites. The 15-song collection includes her take on such well-loved country classics as "Crazy Arms," "He Thinks I Still Care," "You Don't Know Me," "Tennessee Waltz" and "Today I Started Loving You Again." Produced by Nashville legend Buddy Cannon, Time Life is set to release the new album on October 4, 2019.

Playing Favorites is a return to the spotlight for Mandrell, who hasn't released a new album in over 30 years. "A lot of people have asked if I've retired and I'd say, 'No, I've been on hiatus' because with my family if you say retired, they expect you to stay that way," says the vivacious brunette, who became an international star working with siblings Barbara and Irlene on the television variety show "Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters."

Longtime friend Clint Higham encouraged her to record the new album. With Playing Favorites, Mandrell brings a lifetime of experience to the project, infusing each song with a unique blend of passion and professionalism cultivated by years in the spotlight. With one listen, it is obvious her voice has retained all of its sultry warmth, and the relationship she has with these classic songs imbues the project with a soulfulness and emotional weight that resonates with listeners.

Working on this album was a labor of love for Mandrell, because the songs are like old friends with warm memories attached. Among the standards Mandrell puts her stamp on are the Conway Twitty classic "Hello Darlin'" and Johnny Cash's staple "Ring of Fire." Her friendships with both men and with other artists represented on the album make each song that much more special.

These days, Mandrell is enjoying a unique moment in her career. She's both an established veteran with a wealth of experience and yet she also feels like a giddy new artist excited about the future. "I'm having a good time again. I'm extremely happy to be back," she says with excitement.

I love the Mandrell Sisters. I have Louise’s earlier albums & was so happy to see her new music. I loved her choice of country classics sung the country way. I enjoyed the CD immensely!

WOW long time to wait for new music from Louise, but what a great album. I've seen Louise sing some of these songs live thru the years. This recording is so crisp and clear. Her voice is as strong or stronger as the" Maybe my maybe" years. So many of my favs, Never thought about a lady singing Hello Darlin, but wow it was like I heard for the first time in a new light. You don't know me and Always on my mind are two of my favs. Night life she did on the road for years. No better version. If you loved country classics life me this is a nice revisit. Produced by Kenny Chesney's producer. Louise is a class act. Get this one for your trip down memory lane.

Received the cd. Have been a fan for many years. More so with Barbra Mandrell but always liked Louise Mandrell also. Wish Louise and Barbra would of done some albums together. But all in all this is a great cd by Louise Mandrell. Song from when I grew up parents would listen to these songs. Like I said great cd.

This CD was good as it was standards in country, that country fans probably know. Her voice is very good and I was glad to see a new CD from an old favorite.
