Dissecting "For My Broken Heart" by Reba McEntire

from Nashville Anthems: Dissecting 80s & 90s Country Music

We expand our way backwards through Reba McEntire's discography, with the title track of her relentlessly gut-wrenching 1991 album, "For My Broken Heart".  Natural minor tonality dominates the specifically empty sorrow of this sad country song about Day 2 of a devastating breakup.  But what happens when we compare this cut to our previous selection "How Was I to Know", and what can that comparison tell us about the trajectory of McEntire's 80s & 90s body of work?
