This Thing Called Wantin' and Havin' It All is the eleventh studio album released by the American country music band Sawyer Brown. Their fourth studio album for Curb Records, it produced four hit singles on the Billboard country music charts between 1995 and 1996: the title track, "'Round Here", "Treat Her Right", and "She's Gettin' There". "She's Gettin' There" was also the band's first single since 1991's "Mama's Little Baby Loves Me" to miss the country Top 40.

Critical reception[]

Gary Graff and Brian Mansfield, in MusicHound Country: The Essential Album Guide, wrote that the album "continues to hone the band's direction as 'small town heroes'...The first three singles from the album...are probably the strongest trio of hits the group has ever had."^[2]
