At a time of year when the country music industry seems to slow down, Reba is running in high gear! She started January off with “Going Out Like That” at #1 on iTunes…She just launched a new website for her fans at Reba.com…And is preparing for her album release in April.

On a personal note, if you follow her on Twitter, you know that her most important tweets are photos of her grandchildren. And forever supportive of her good friend, and new label mate Ronnie Dunn, she says she’s “So ready to hear some new music from him.” And she will soon!

Reba, along with Brooks & Dunn will be opening their residency at Caesars Palace in Vegas this summer, and tickets are on sale now for shows starting June 24. She comments on how the whole idea came about…

Reba – Caesars Palace with Kix & Ronnie :23
“In the 90’s we were touring for 4 years but then we were at a dinner one night in Nashville and somebody said, “Man wouldn’t it be cool if we could all go back out and do some shows together.” And Kix said” I’m for it.” I looked at Ronnie and he said “I’m for it.” And I said…“You know I’m in!” So, this has worked out perfect, they’re my brothers. Ya know, cake and Ice cream are good but when you put ‘em together, it’s even better, that’s kinda what we are.”

WHAT SHE’S DOING THIS WEEK – JANUARY 19, 2015 – MONDAY
