Reba McEntire
Wisconsin State Fair Park - Main Stage 640 S. 84th St. Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53214
Few country singers have enjoyed a career quite as long and varied as Reba McEntire, who over her more than 40 years in the music industry has dabbled in a little bit of everything, from honky tonk to pop to traditional roots music. Along the way she’s charted a historic 35 number one singles and 56 Top 10 hits—more than any female country artist—and collaborated with musicians as wide ranging as Vince Gill, Linda Davis, Martina McBride, Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney, Justin Timberlake and her daughter-in-law, Kelly Clarkson. She’s also an accomplished actress. From 2001-2007 she starred in her own WB sitcom, “Reba,” playing a resilient single mom.
For her 29th and most recent studio album, Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope, McEntire returns to one of her great muses: her faith. The record is split across two discs, the first a collection of traditional hymns including standards like “Amazing Grace” and “I’ll Fly Away,” and the second made up of original songs, including one devotional co-written by McEntire herself, “I Got the Lord on My Side.” The album took home Best Roots Gospel Album honors at this year’s Grammy Awards.
