• REBA McENTIRE SET TO RELEASE HER NEW BOOK, NOT THAT FANCY: SIMPLE LESSONS ON LIVING, LOVING, EATING AND DUSTING OFF YOUR BOOTS.

    Reba McEntire will release her new lifestyle book, NOT THAT FANCY: LESSONS ON LIVING, LOVING, EATING AND DUSTING OFF YOUR BOOTS, on Tuesday (October 10th). “An homage to her faith, family and Oklahoma upbringing,” (Booklist) the book is an enchanting collection of funny, poignant and deeply personal stories, photos, lifestyle tips and recipes.

    From the audio version of her book, Reba gives a little insight into what lies within its pages. “That’s what I’m sharing in this book – the simple Oklahoma-style truths I keep coming back to and a bunch of good stories, photos and recipes that go along with ‘em,” she says. “So, if you’re looking to slow down, get back to basics and just have a heckuva lot of fun, then I think we’re gonna have a good time together in these pages. Come on in. Kick off your boots or leave ‘em on. I don’t care and learn how to bring a little of my Western-inspired life into your own. Let’s have a good time, alright?”

    Reba is determined to enjoy her life, both personally and professionally. “Everything I’m doing in my life from here on out – personal or professional, doesn’t matter – I’m gonna have fun,” she says. “Enjoying what we’ve been given is one of the best ways I know to honor the Lord. I’ve been blessed beyond measure, and I want to make sure to never stop letting God know just how thankful I am for the life he’s given me, especially those Not That Fancy things, because as I found, that’s where my heart is.”

    Tomorrow, we will have more of Reba talking about her career in music, taken from the audio version of her book.

    The Country Music Hall of Famer previously co-wrote a 1994 memoir titled Reba: My Story with Tom Carter and also authored a second biography, Comfort From a Country Quilt, in 1999.

    Reba McEntire (Fancy) OC: …always a hit. :41
    “I fell in love with that song when Bobbie Gentry had it out in the late ’60s. It was a hit then, and it’s been a hit every time anybody listens to it. Everybody can relate to it; it’s a rags-to-riches song. I had wanted to do that song earlier, but not until I got with Tony Brown in 1990 to do this album (Rumor Has It), he had asked me, he said, ‘Are there any old songs you’d like to do a remake on?’ And I looked at him and said, ‘Yeah! Fancy!’ He said, ‘Omigosh! That’s my favorite song!’ So, we did this song, and it has just been with me forever. I just absolutely love it. I’ve recorded it. I’ve performed it many times, done it on television shows, and it’s always a hit.”
