Brenda Lee - Even Better (2026) [Hi-Res]

Even Better is a studio album by American singer, Brenda Lee. It was released by MCA Records in January 1980 and was her twenty eighth studio project. Consisting of ten tracks, it was considered her "comeback" album in the country genre, featuring Lee in a new hairstyle on the cover and new compositions written by songwriters like Rafe Van Hoy. Even Better received mostly critical praise for showcasing Lee's characteristic vocal stylings. The album featured three singles, two of which became her first country top ten singles in several years: "Tell Me What It's Like" and "The Cowgirl and the Dandy".

Brenda Lee was among music's best-selling artists during the 1960s after having a series of top ten and number one pop singles. She transitioned into the country genre during the 1970s and had several US top ten country songs during the middle decade. Most of her records up to this point were produced by Owen Bradley, but he retired from the music industry in the late 1970s. Lee then recorded pop and disco with other producers and briefly signed a contract with Elektra Records but ultimately returned to her former label (MCA) in 1979. Lee then began making her next album project in 1979.
