This doesn't seem like it should be difficult, but I've been noticing that Alexa can be a bit wonky about commands if they're not worded quite right.
This goes back to what many of us have speculated about for a long time. That being that Amazon's developers must not be using the devices themselves, otherwise they would see how stupidly designed the controls can be and correct them. Anyone who has actually listened to music albums, whether vinyl, 8 track, cassette, CD, or digital, understands how important it is to be able to find and play a particular song, track, etc., or start from a specific location. It is beyond me why Amazon's developers cannot understand these kind of common knowledge things when writing the FW for their devices. Maybe Amazon needs to hire people that don't need to be awarded trophies when they actually show up to work.
