Reba teaches online class
In her first ever online class, she breaks down one of her greatest hits, "Fancy," and shares what it takes to create a sustainable career in country. McEntire's class covers storytelling, connecting to an audience, singing, performance, vocal warm up, song selection, brand building and the business side.
"I love to learn from other people so working with MasterClass, being able to share some of the lessons I've been taught is exciting," said McEntire. "For the first time, I'm getting to offer up what I believe makes a killer song, my vocal techniques and some tidbits I've experienced throughout my career. Country music is relatable music. It's all about how people live, day in and day out ... it's their life stories. I hope that my MasterClass encourages people along in their own adventure in music."
MasterClass' current roster of courses includes Christina Aguilera (singing), Kevin Spacey (acting), Usher (performance), Serena Williams (tennis), James Patterson (writing), Dustin Hoffman (acting), Aaron Sorkin (screenwriting) and Werner Herzog (filmmaking). Classes cost $90.

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.
