Reba returns to host ACMs, announces CD
The ACMs will be held at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 7. This marks the 16th time McEntire will host.
She will appear on CBS This Morning on Feb. 20 to reveal the nominees for the 54th ACMs.
McEntire also will release a new CD, "Stronger Than The Truth," on April 5 on Big Machine Records. She co-produced the 12-track project with Buddy Cannon in Nashville.
This is McEntire's first disc since "Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope."
"The response to 'Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope' reinforced my love for recording songs that speak to the heart. So when I started selecting songs for this album, I stuck with that same formula - go with the songs that touch my heart, and hopefully when you hear me singing it, they'll touch yours too. That honesty once again revealed itself," she said. "I grew up on an 8,000-acre family ranch singing at dance halls, honky-tonks and rodeos with my brother and sister. 'Stronger Than the Truth' takes me back to that kind of country music that I grew up with. I haven't gotten to do that in a while, so I'm thrilled to pieces to release this new music."

1. Swing All Night Long With You - Written by Sidney Cox, Jon Randall
2. Stronger Than The Truth - Written by Hannah Louise Blaylock, Autumn McEntire

CD reviews for Reba McEntire
It's so good to hear Reba McEntire's gospel album so soon after Carrie Underwood released the similar "My Savior." While Underwood's release may have been her country-ist album – ever, perhaps – McEntire has strayed far less often from her traditional music roots. With "My Chains Are Gone," McEntire gives us a selection of songs she – like Underwood – grew up singing. Therefore, she knows them all like the back of her hand, the way ...
The beauty of Reba McEntire's albums flows from her way with a phrase, knowing when to modulate to carry us deeper into sadness or joy and when to pull back when she wants us to listen quietly to the lessons of a tear falling. Her songs can also urge us to scamper across the dance floor to twin fiddles, celebrating the exhilarating freedom of the moment or the satisfaction of breakup from a messy relationship. This album follows the end of McEntire's marriage to her manager. ...
Reba McEntire's "My Kind of Christmas," is essentially the same album, with the same title, she released a while back through Cracker Barrel. The project is mostly comprised of the country Wonder Woman's strong singing voice, backed by acoustic piano. The new wrinkle in this expanded edition, though, is a bevy of guest vocalists. These guest spots are so good, it's worth the extra bucks to get the full package.
Reba is joined by the dynamic husband and wife team, Vince ...
