Across My Heart is the twenty-second studio album by country artist Kenny Rogers released in 1997 by Magnatone Records. It features a wide array of artists collaborating with Rogers on various songs on the album like All-4-One, The Katinas, Tareva Henderson and Bekka & Billy. The album hit the charts, with its strongest showing on the country charts at number 26, although it did not produce any hit singles.
Critical reception
Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine rated it 2.5 out of 5 stars, saying that " Even with all these collaborators, the album sounds homogenous, especially since the material is entirely generic. However, it holds together better than most Rogers albums since the mid-'80s, because it is evident that some thought and care went into its production."{{Cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/across-my-heart-mw0000025122|title = Across My Heart - Kenny Rogers | Songs, Reviews, Credits | AllMusic|website = AllMusic}}
