Background

Moments was recorded in June 1986 in Nashville, Tennessee, two months before its official release.[1] Moments contained 10 tracks of newly recorded material. Mandrell's musical style and sound changed for the album, as most of its tracks had a significant traditional country music approach, as traditional musical styles were reentering country music. This was exemplified in songs such as the sixth track, "No One Mends a Broken Heart Like You".[2] The collection was issued as an LP album, with five songs on each side of the record. The album has not since been reissued on a compact disc.[3]

Moments was not provided with any music reviews by critics, including Allmusic.[2]
