My Kind of Country is the eighth studio album by American singer Reba McEntire. It was her second album for MCA Records. My Kind of Country peaked at 13 on Billboard's (North America) Country Music Albums chart. Two tracks from the album rose to number 1 on the Country Singles chart: "How Blue" and "Somebody Should Leave".
The track "It's Not Over (If I'm Not over You)" was later recorded by Mark Chesnutt on his 1992 album Longnecks & Short Stories, with backing vocals from Alison Krauss and Vince Gill. It reappeared on his 1997 album Thank God for Believers, from which it was released as a single in 1998.
