Extremes is the third studio album by American country music artist Collin Raye. As with Raye's first two albums, Extremes received platinum certification in the United States for sales of over one million copies. The singles released from this album were "That's My Story", "Man of My Word", "My Kind of Girl", "If I Were You" and "Little Rock". "My Kind of Girl" was a Number One hit on the Hot Country Songs charts, while the other singles all reached Top Ten.
"Dreaming My Dreams with You" is a cover of the Waylon Jennings song from his album of the same name, and "A Bible and a Bus Ticket Home" was later recorded by Confederate Railroad on their album Keep On Rockin'.
