OK this is better news than anything Taylor Swift said today!! Queen Reba is coming back! Nothing would make me happier than to have her back very soon! This fall / winter could be great for 90's country women if Reba, Faith, Trisha & Shania all make their rumored returns. This year already has had it's fair share of 90's women returning so if even just two more of those 4 do come back it'd be great news to me! (Other women were Lee Ann Womack, Terri Clark, Jo Dee Messina, Sara Evans, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Dolly Parton, Martina McBride, Rosanne Cash, & Carlene Carter)

Definitely bummed about Taylor Swift abandoning country music. I like her pop stuff too, but I've always been more of a fan of the countrier songs she did. I'll probably still like her new album, but I am disappointed about the direction she's taking. I would've rather seen her try to balance the two, and who knows, maybe she'll come back to it in the future? Idk. Oh and that album cover is bleh.

Reba's office is still gonna deny the project in every which way possible. But her label has said she's got a number of songs on hold, and the Starstruck Writers Group has been getting together more and more so I'm sure they're working to write songs for her.

Does anyone know if there is a CD version of Chase Rice's Ignite The Night Party Edition or is it an iTunes exclusive album? I can't find it in stores or online anywhere.

I'd be cool for her to do a surprise album but I don't think Reba will ever "channel" a Beyoncé move ever again.

New Trisha album, PrizeFighter, coming soon through Sony Nashville. Yearwood's signing with Sony follows Brooks' announcement last month that he was signing with the label and would have a new album this fall. "We wanted to be on the same label because we thought it would be easier and more fun because we want to do duet records," Yearwood said. "We wanted to be able to do whatever we wanted and we've never been on the same record label, so it was kind of born out of looking to find a home that wanted to work with both of us, and Sony was that. I'm excited because it's a joint venture and I got my own imprint for the first time. I named my imprint Gwendolyn Records after my mom, so that's special to me."
Yearwood says the title track reminds her of her late mother who passed away in 2011 after battling cancer. "'Prizefighter' is an empowering song about just staying in the fight," Yearwood said. "When I hear this song I see everything about my mom. I think about her. I think about the soldiers I visited at Walter Reed [National Military Medical Center]. I think about little kids going to school and getting bullied. There's so many things going through my head. It's a really cool song and it just seemed like the right title for this album."
The release date hasn't been set yet, but the album will mix new songs with some of Yearwood's classic hits. "It's everything you would expect like 'She's in Love With The Boy' and all the way to 'How Do I Live,'" Yearwood said of the songs that range from her breakthrough hit to the Diane Warren-penned power ballad featured in the Nicolas Cage film Con Air. "When we released 'How Do I Live,' we did two versions for the movie. We did the country version and we did the pop version. The country version is what went to radio, but the pop version was released on the album, so the country version has never been on a record. PrizeFighter will be about eight or nine greatest hits and about six new songs, so it should have about 15 songs on it."
The bulk of the album will be produced by Yearwood's longtime producer Garth Fundis with a couple of additional tracks she worked on recently with Mark Miller, Brooks' longtime engineer, who is producing this new record. "I'm still kind of frantically finishing up," Yearwood said of the album.
When asked if she's thinking about country radio as she records the new music, Yearwood responded, "Absolutely! I'm not young. I'm going to be 50 this September and all you hear is, 'Nobody over 30 gets played on radio,' so it's a whole new ballgame, but it's not going to stop me from making good music and I do think about radio. We are recording a little differently. The sound is a lot different on radio now. The vocals are a lot dryer and more in your face, and I like that. It's been a new experience for me and we are recording that way. I feel like musically it sounds like what you hear on radio. Now whether radio will play it or not remains to be seen, and I'm conscious of it. But I'm doing what I've always done, and that is pick songs that I believe in and try to do the best job I can on them and then hope for the best."
Much has been said and written recently about the dearth of women on country radio, and Yearwood admits to being baffled by it. "I don't know why," she mused. "When I was making records in the mid-'90s, women were just taking over the radio. It was me, Faith [Hill], Martina [McBride], Reba [McEntire], Pam Tillis and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Everywhere you turned there was a female on the radio, having No. 1s and selling records. I never thought it would go the other way. I read that there were maybe four female artists that have had No.1 records this past year, so I don't know what happened. The female artists that are doing well are doing great. Everybody's voice needs to be heard. I love Miranda Lambert. I'm a fan and I'm glad that if women are being represented by a few, I'm glad that one of them is her because she is awesome, but we need more." (source)

I will still buy "PrizeFighter", as I love anything by Trisha Yearwood and can't wait for a new CD in my collection..However, the idea of only six or seven new tracks is a bit frustrating, unless she has re-recorded newer versions of her past hits, then that makes me a bit more excited...???

Yeah, I'm definitely disappointed as well that Trisha kept us waiting all these years just to release another Greatest Hits package. But I am still looking forward to new music from her again regardless, and seeing how well her return to the spotlight goes.

Considering , they were talking about releasing the original version of "How Do I Live" , I suspect these are the original versions of her hits. Pure speculation , but maybe she bought them back like her hubby perhaps? In any case , I guess we will find out soon enough. And not to be Debbie Downer ,but I'm also a bit alarmed at her remarks about keeping radio in mind as well. At her age , her chances are pretty slim of making a dent in the charts. And considering what is flying at radio right now , I'd just rather she record good music. If the new tracks are even half as good as the bulk of the music from her last two studio albums, I'll be happy though.

Brad Paisley has released yet another leak, "Shattered Glass." Now this is a message song I love! In a genre that largely ignores females artists these days, it's great to see a modern legend standing up for their rights to be up there with the men! Brad has said it's his favorite on the album!

You can now preorder Lee Ann Womack's The Way I'm Livin'. If you do, the title track and "Don't Listen To The Wind" will download immediately. You can now also hear "When I Come Around" here. Newly signed to Sugar Hill Records, Lee Ann Womack kicks country-pop to the gutter and embraces a raw, rootsy, realistic sound on The Way I'm Livin', her first album in six years. "When I Come Around" is a waltzing ode to the small pockets of the Bible Belt, shot through with fiddles, pedal steel guitar, close harmonies and a passionate performance from Womack, who croons with confidence after her half-decade sabbatical.

The Shania Twain ICON CD now has a release of January 13, 2015 - instead of September 9??? I am not sure why labels keep releasing albums like this when she already has a Greatest Hits.

Because they make money as impulse purchases and not everyone has the Greatest Hits. Sometimes it's just re-packaged too.
