Background

Moments was recorded in June 1986 in Nashville, Tennessee, two months before its official release.[1] Moments contained ten 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]

Moments only spawned one single, "No One Mends a Broken Heart Like You". The single was released in July 1986 and peaked at #6 on the Billboard Magazine Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[4] In addition, the single also reached #5 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart the same year. Moments was released in August 1986, a month after the single's release. The album peaked at #53 on the Billboard Magazine Top Country Albums chart after its release, Mandrell's lowest peak on the chart.[5] Shortly after its release, Mandrell left MCA Records and signed with EMI America Records in 1987.
