No Rules is the third studio album released by American country music artist Rebecca Lynn Howard. It is her first full studio album in six years, as she recorded two unreleased albums in the interim: one in 2003 for MCA Nashville, and another in 2005 for Arista Nashville. She also released a non-charting single in 2006 for Show Dog Nashville, a label owned by Toby Keith.
No Rules features strong southern soul influences.[1] The album includes covers of Aretha Franklin's 1967 hit "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man", The Temptations' 1975 funk classic "Shakey Ground", and "We're in This Love Together", originally by soul/jazz singer Al Jarreau.
The album reached #69 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. "Sing 'Cause I Love To" was released as a single but failed to chart.
