KEEP ON LOVING YOU is contemporary country legend Reba McEntire's debut recording on the semi-independent Valory Music Company label's Starstruck imprint. Despite its release on an indie, the production and approach are anything but.. The cream of country music's current chart crop wrote its 13 songs, and it's a radio-friendly collection showcasing McEntire's adaptability. The title track, a midtempo ballad saturated in compressed guitars, Hammond B-3, and a chorus of fiddles, reveals that McEntire is a belter who can hang with the best of them. The set opener (and its first single), "Strange," with its acoustic guitars, mandolin, and fiddle intros, is like something from the backyard until about 20 seconds in, when a wall of guitars � la John Rich arrives and Reba's vocal spits out lyrics about a wrecked love affair. "I Want a Cowboy" and "Pink Guitar" sound more like McEntire is being backed by the Charlie Daniels Band circa 1979 than her own touring unit. "She's Turning 50 Today" is a trademark McEntire-delivered ballad about a woman who has been abandoned by her husband and decides to leave the wreckage of her life behind. It's the kind of bittersweet power ballad that the singer is famous for, and is delivered with characteristic aplomb.

Entertainment Weekly (p.111) - "Reba McEntire leads off her 31st album with 'Strange,' an additively sinister kiss-off..." Billboard (p.28) - "'Nothing to Lose' is a fast-pickin' barn burner with loads of instrumental breaks..."

As one of the best-selling female country artists of the 20th century, Reba McEntire purveyed a pop-flavored brand of country music that--by the mid '90s--propelled the singer out of the world of country and into the mainstream. McEntire has been featured on Broadway, appeared in numerous films, and written two books, and beginning in 2001 she became the star of her own successful sitcom, REBA. As a musical artist, however, it is her unmistakable voice and her talent for choosing just the right material that will always be her greatest assets.
