Nothin' but Good is the second album by American country music singer Dawn Sears. It was released in 1994 via Decca Records.

Critical reception

Giving it 3 out of 5 stars, Jim Ridley of New Country magazine thought that the album's production was "straight down the middle of a pop-country road" and "still fails to register Sears' own personality strongly", but thought that her performances on "Runaway Train", "Uh Oh", and "Planet of Love" were solid. He added that she "sings most movingly" on "Little Orphan Annie", a song written in tribute to her parents.^[1]
