Out of a Dream is the second studio album by American country music singer Reba McEntire.[1] It was released on August 27, 1979, through Mercury Records. The first single from the album, Last Night, Ev'ry Night, was McEntire's first top 30 hit, and the fourth single from the album, a cover of "Sweet Dream", was her first top 20 hit. Out of a Dream includes the song "Daddy", which is the first song written by McEntire to be included on one of her albums, and a cover of the Christine Kittrell song "I'm A Woman".
Out of a Dream was released in CD format twice, the second time with alternate album artwork. Despite some success with the singles released, the album did not chart on Billboard.[2]
