Reba McEntire's new album promises to be 'funky, sassy'
Reba McEntire credits last year's tour with Kelly Clarkson for changing her perspective on choosing songs for her album, due Aug. 18.
"I think that my song selections are a little more hip," she says. "I know they're more uptempo. They're funky, they're sassy, they've got attitude."
McEntire recorded the still-untitled album with Tony Brown and Mark Bright, best known for his Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts productions.
"Tony did the country swing, the more bluegrass song, and the funkabilly I Want a Cowboy. Mark did the more contemporary songs that I think are stupendous."
The album will include Keep on Loving You, co-written by Ronnie Dunn of Brooks & Dunn.
"They didn't put that on their album, and I said, 'Good Lord! Why not?' " McEntire says.
"I said, 'Ronnie, if you're not going to put that on your album, would you let me have it?' He thought about it for a long time, then he finally said, 'You can have it.' "
