美國鄉村樂天后〔蕾芭．麥肯泰〕──鄉村流行搖滾──［Why Haven’t I Hear From You／為何我沒聽你說］

Well back in 1876 an ol boy named Bell

Invented a contraption that we know so well

By the 1950s they were in everybodys home

Theres a crazy little thing they call the telephone

Now theres one on every corner, in the back of every bar

You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car

So tell me why, havent I, heard from you

Tell me why, havent I heard from you

I said now darlin, honey, what is your excuse

Why havent I heard from you

Theres no problem gettin to me

Baby you can dial direct

I got call forwarding, call waiting

You can even call collect

When the service man he told me that my phone was workin fine

And Ive come to the conclusion the trouble isnt with my line

Im sure the operator will be glad to put you through

So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you

So tell me why, havent I, heard from you

Tell me why, havent I heard from you

I said now darlin, honey, what is your excuse

Why havent I heard from you

There better been a flood, a landslide of mud

A fire that burns up the wires

And thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud

A natural disaster I know nothin about

Tell me why, havent I, heard from you

Tell me why, havent I heard from you

I said now darlin, honey, what is your excuse

Why havent I heard from you

Tell me why, havent I, heard from you

Tell me why, havent I heard from you

I said now darlin, honey, what is your excuse

Why havent I heard from you

１９９４年４月　正值事業高峰的３９歲美國鄉村樂女王蕾芭麥肯泰（Reba McEntire）發行第大碟［Read My Mind／解讀我的心］

由她跟Tony Brown製作

專輯登上告示榜冠軍　成為她當時在主流市場最高名次

另外登上鄉村榜亞軍

至今在美國賣出三百多萬張　

繼續鞏固麥肯泰在鄉村樂壇的天后地位。

首支主打是［Why Haven’t I Hear From You／為何我沒聽你說］

此曲由Sandy Knox＆T. W. Hale合寫

被製作成一首中板鄉村流行搖滾曲

［Why Haven’t I Hear From You］登上美國鄉村榜＃５

靠著良好銷售, 也幾乎打入Billboard單曲榜（＃１０１）

另外也在加拿大鄉村榜拿到＃４

蕾芭還特別拍了一支幽默的喜劇風格MV, 嘗試許多誇張造型
