Blackstock was a member of McEntire's band in 1980 when her career was starting. Both McEntire and Blackstock were previously married. They have one son together, Shelby. His son, Brandon, is married to singer Kelly Clarkson, who Blackstock also manages through his management company.
McEntire released her most recent album, "Love Somebody," in April on the Nash Icon label. She has done a Las Vegas residency with Brooks & Dunn.
