Regina Regina is the only album by the American country music duo Regina Regina. It was released on Giant Records on January 28, 1997. The album includes the single "More Than I Wanted to Know".
Critical reception[edit]
Giving it 3 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic called the album "an appealing set of contemporary country distinguished by Regina Nicks and Regina Leigh's pure, close harmonies, which help give weight even to the mediocre material that clutters the record." He thought that the single "More Than I Wanted to Know" was a "highlight".[1] Dan Kuchar of Country Standard Time gave the album a positive review, saying that it had a "well-defined trademark sound" and was "high-energy country pumped up with heavier than normal drums and guitars". He thought that the album had pop crossover potential.[2] Giving it a "C+", Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly thought that the songs were "better-than-average country pop" but that both members of the duo were weak vocalists.[3]
