Hallmark Has a Reba Love Revival

12/10/2007   Reba McEntire will have a new album out early in 2008. Love Revival will be sold exclusively at Hallmark Gold Crown stores in January and February, according to Billboard. Reba joins an illustrious group of artists who’ve released holiday-related albums through the retail outlet. Josh Groban, Michael Buble and Martina McBride have put out Valentine's Day discs, while George Strait, Michael McDonald, James Taylor and Barry Manilow have released Christmas projects. The album contains four songs recorded exclusively for Hallmark, among them a version of Restless Heart's 1987 No. 1 single “I'll Still Be Loving You” and three songs – “Bad for My Own Good,” “With You I Am” and “Big Blue Sky”  - that Reba had considered, but never wound up using, for previous projects. Surprisingly, Reba admits coming up with material for the album proved challenging. “I didn't have that many love songs that I've recorded during my 31-year career, believe it or not,” she says. Cliff Williamson, who works with Reba, combed through the singer’s back catalog to find material for the CD, which will include Reba's chart-topping 1993 duet with Vince Gill, “The Heart Won't Lie,” the gospel-tinged title cut, which first appeared on her 2003 album Room to Breathe, and “Somebody,” a No. 1 hit from 2004.
