REBA DUETS - REBA MCENTIRE
This wonderfully diverse collection finds Reba McEntire teaming with everyone from Faith Hill to Don Henley to Justin Timberlake and Rascal Flatts. Highlights include the stone country, longing-for-home “Does the Wind Still Blow in Oklahoma,” which McEntire co-wrote with fellow Okie and duet partner Ronnie Dunn. The moving “Every Other Weekend,” with Kenny Chesney, speaks to the heartbreak of broken families, while a duet with Henley on “Break Each Other’s Hearts Again” finds two former lovers hooking up. First single “Because of You” pairs McEntire with Kelly Clarkson on the latter’s 2006 hit, and “Everyday People” with Carole King is an uplifting testament to making a difference. The most unexpected cut is McEntire’s intertwining with Timberlake on “The Only Promise That Remains”; one could picture the pair singing it at a writer’s night somewhere.
