Something to Talk About (album)

Something to Talk About is the twenty-second studio album by Canadian country pop artist Anne Murray. It was released by Capitol Records in 1986. The album is so named after the Shirley Eikhard-composed song "Something to Talk About", which Murray had wanted to record for the album but was rejected by her producers; Bonnie Raitt went on to have a huge hit with the song.

The album peaked at #2 for several weeks on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart - Anne's highest position. The disc was certified Gold by the RIAA.
