Unbelievable is the fifth studio album by American country music group Diamond Rio. Its title track and "You're Gone" were both Top 5 hits on the country charts in 1998-1999, while "I Know How the River Feels" (originally cut by Ty Herndon on his Living in a Moment album) was a minor Top 40, and was later a #69 for the group McAlyster in 2000. "What More Do You Want From Me" was originally an uncharted single by Rhonda Vincent, released in 1995 and was also included on her album Trouble Free in 1996.
Critical reception Entertainment Weekly thought that the band "knows how to please with show-off musicianship and clever vocal harmonies ... but too often they call more attention to how hard they’re working than to what lies between the grooves."
