Reba McEntire has a deep catalog full of memorable songs. Fans only have to hear—or read—a few lines of a song from nearly three decades ago to jog their memories. In a recent social media post, the country legend proved this when she shared a few lines of lyrics from a 29-year-old album cut. Fans rushed to the comments to share their love for the song and album.

In the post, McEntire shared a trio of throwback photos from the mid-90s. Her fiery locks flow over her shoulders while also reaching for the sky in true 90s style. Along with the photos, she shared a few lines of lyrics. You’d see how I feel / What my head won’t let my heart reveal / If only you could read my mind, she wrote. Then she let fans know they could listen to the song at the link in her bio.

The lyrics come from the chorus of the title track from her 1994 album Read My Mind. She released five singles from that album. Among them were “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter” which went to No. 1 on the Country Singles chart. “Till You Love Me” was her first single to hit the Billboard Hot 100. The album’s title track, however, wasn’t a single. The fact that fans instantly recognize an album cut after all these years speaks volumes about the quality of McEntire’s catalog.
