Don & Reba

A little more Don news:
-----------------------------

Reba McEntire is ready to kick off her KEYS TO MY HEART tour next week, Friday 13th. Whirlpool is again sponsoring the tour on behalf of Habitat for Humanity.

AND, REBA'S "DUETS" ALBUM SPORTS AN ECLECTIC ALL-STAR CAST: Reba is in the final stages of her DUETS album that will release its 1st single next month and the CD will release this fall.

So far a potent mix of 11 country and pop artists have recorded with McEntire including: Kenny Chesney, Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson, Vince Gill, Faith Hill, Carole King, DON HENLEY, Trisha Yearwood, LeAnn Rimes and Rascal Flatts.
----------------------------------------------------

I had read that Reba was one of Don's greatest admirers. (The woman has exquisite taste. ) Plus, she & Don share the dedication to conservation, since her tour is on behalf of Habitat for Humanity.

Wouldn't it be nice if her first single was the one with Don?

I just read a news release about Reba McEntire's new album. I was hoping that the first single would be her duet with Don, but no such luck:

The first single from Reba's new album, "Because Of You," a duet with Kelly Clarkson, goes to radio May 15.

"I've had a blast working on this album with some of my closest friends, who also happen to be some of the best singers in the world!" said McEntire.

Guest appearances include performances by Kenny Chesney, Kelly Clarkson, Ronnie Dunn (of Brooks & Dunn), Vince Gill, Don Henley, Faith Hill, Carole King, Rascal Flatts, LeAnn Rimes, Justin Timberlake and Trisha Yearwood.

Hmmmmmmmm. So I wonder if this means she just re-recorded one of each of the artists hits? Unless it's a different "Because of You" than was huge for Kelly. lol I'm very interested (and excited! ) to see/hear what song she does with Don!

Also, I'm sure there was some strategy behind the first release.........as Kelly's music is absolutely huge right now.

I can't wait to hear the song with Don.

Eagleland had a little bit more about Don's duet with Reba McEntire, from the May 11th issue of Radio and Records:

--------------------------------------------------

While McEntire has also been a star for a long time, when she talks about working with Don Henley, she uses the words “legend” and “awe.”

She says, “I wasn’t talking because I was hanging on his every word. He is just stupendous to me.” Still, she describes him as “a very down-to-earth person, yet very deep.”

The two recorded a song called “Let’s Break Each Other’s Heart Again.” “I like his writing, his singing, everything about him,” she adds. “For him to say yes to this project was wonderful.”

------------------------------------------------

She sounds like me when I am talking about Don….I like his writing, his singing, everything about him too....
It is amazing the effect this man has on women.


(I can think of a couple of projects I'd like him to say "Yes" to, too! )

It really is a gorgeous song.
"Let's drive each other crazy...." indeed.

Can't believe we have to wait until September to hear the rest of it.

"Let's drive each other crazy...."

Good grief - I'm at work so I can't listen to this until tonight. It sounds VERY interesting. I can't wait.
