Biography
Reba's career started in the most American way - at her high school- singing in her Kiowa High school band. Which subsequently also brought her to perform numerously at her local radio station and at rodeos that were held in her small town.
The red-headed singer's music career began in 1976 when she was signed by music label Mercury. Following the signing, she went on to release her debut single, titled, "I Don't Want to Be a One Night Stand". Disappointingly, the single was not as successful as Mercury and herself had hoped. Reaching only number 88, it flopped and failed to become a big success on the Billboard country music chart- which is what both herself and her record label had in mind.
After numerous album debuts, Reba finally made a breakthrough in 1984 when she signed with MCA Nashville Records, releasing her seventh studio album, named "Just a Little Love".
The singer from Oklahoma has gone on to have masses of success, issuing over 30 studio albums. Her success did not end there as she, impressively, then went on to storm an amazing acting career in television and on Broadway.
The country singer is thought of as one of American country music's most treasured entertainers and one of the most powerful female vocalists. Reba McEntire proves anyone can make it, no matter how small your home-town is.
Live reviews
Reba McEntire is one of the most charismatic women in country and although it is a genre of ten dominated by men, McEntire's beautiful tones stand solid during her live show. She has amassed a huge following and fan base over her career that now spans almost forty years and she really knows how to own the stage.
With such a timeless voice and an album discography that stands at nearly 30, she has to be very intelligent with the material selected at it is assured that each audience member will have a personal favourite album and single. Reba is a clever performer in the way she merges classic tracks such as 'Somebody' 'Till You Love Me' and 'Whoever's In New England' in a medley style fashion whilst never slipping up on lyrics as the songs seamlessly weave into one and other.
Her band boldly begins the percussive introduction to 'I'm a Survivor' and Reba evokes cheers from the crowds before encouraging them to sing and sway along. As she takes her final bows during the final tones of 'Turn On The Radio' the audience applaud wildly for the show this classic star has performed.

I've been listening to Reba McEntire ever since I was a little kid thanks in large part to my mother who used every chance she got to play country in the car with my older brother and I.
At first I didn't understand the appeal of songs and country in general, but after some time I got attached to the sound and have loved it ever since.
Listening to Reba is different then listening to other female country artist because she has a voice that moves up and down ever so slightly when she sings.
The greatest part about the show for me however wasn't the songs themselves, but rather the deep pride that Reba showed to those who continued to come and see her perform even after all of these years.
To me, her music and her voice are timeless and like her protege Dolly Parton she will be an artist to be remembered for all of time. The amazing part is that even after all of these years she was still able to hold a note and project her voice just as well as she did when I was a child listening to her.
Reba is true American and a great country music artist. I saw her show in Bensalem, PA. Loved it and I love her. She has a big heart and truly loves her fans. I will be seeing her show at Wolftrap in Vienna, Virginia on July 1st. I will be meeting her at that show. Love You Reba.

AWESOME! As always. Brooks and Dunn were terrific too. This was our second trip to Vegas to see them and they DO NOT disappoint. Was hoping for an extra song or two since it was the last night of this tour, but still very satisfying!!
