Rebecca Lynn Howard (originally titled When My Dreams Come True)[4] is the debut studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Rebecca Lynn Howard, released May 2, 2000 via MCA Nashville.
[9] Unusual for a debut artist at the time, Howard co-wrote all but two tracks on the album.
"I Don't Paint Myself into Corners" and "Melancholy Blue" would be recorded by label-mate Trisha Yearwood on her 2001 studio album Inside Out, with the former becoming a charting single for her in 2002.
Phyllis Stark of Billboard gave the album a positive review, noting how at times Howard's vibrato is reminiscent of Dolly Parton.
[12] Rebecca Lynn Howard debuted and peaked at number 54 on the US Top Country Albums chart with 2,500 copies sold first week.
