(AUDIO) Reba Talks Music Through The Decades

As Reba waits to release a follow up single to her iTunes #1 “Going Out Like That” you’d think she would have some down time, but that’s not the case!

She has makeup lines, clothing lines and concerts scattered across the country. And due to sold out shows on the first run, she signed on for additional dates to her residency with Brooks & Dunn at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. And with a hit list like Reba’s to choose from, you could hear her perform anything from decades ago, to songs from her new album Love Somebody.

Her charted songs reach back to the 70’s. Even before that, the superstar has always had great respect for those who came before her, and was asked recently if she thought country music was different now than it was in the past…

Reba – Music through the decades :13
“Sure it’s different. But when Loretta and Tammy were listening to my songs in the 90’s, it was different than what they did in their day. So every decade…it’s different. I’ve been in it 40, so every decade’s been different.”
