McEntire, Yoakam release
Tuesday, April 14, 2015 – Two country veterans - Reba McEntire and Dwight Yoakam - are out with new albums today.
For McEntire, "Love Somebody" marks her debut as the flagship artist of the Nash Icon label, which is part of Big Machine. McEntire co-produced the disc with Tony Brown, James Stroud and Doug Sisemore and covers familiar territory about women and relationships. The first single is "Going Out Like That."
Yoakam is one of the few traditional country singers out there and returns with "Second Hand Heart," his first release since 2012's "3 Pears." Yoakam mixes it up between honky tonk, rockabilly and other sounds.

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.
