Country superstar Reba McEntire will re-release her iconic RIAA triple-platinum certified album Rumor Has It on Friday (September 11th) in honor of the record’s 30th Anniversary. Originally released in 1990, Rumor Has It features four Top 10 hits including the album title track, “You Lie,” “Fallin’ Out Of Love” and her signature hit, “Fancy.” In addition, the anniversary edition vinyl will include a bonus track, a live acoustic version of “Fancy” recorded at The Ryman, while the CD and digital versions will feature that bonus track as well as a new dance remix of “Fancy.”

The Oklahoma native went through a lot during the making of the album, but she had some downtime to pick just the right songs. “It was 1990, February of 1990. I had Shelby, so that was in February. I had been on bedrest since December the 6th, so finally had him on the 23rd of February and then we started in on the tour,” says Reba. “But while I was on bedrest, I was listening for songs. They’d bring me a huge box of cassette tapes. I had to stay on my left side all the time and I had my boom box and I would listen to songs all day long. So, I had Shelby, and then we went right into recording with Tony Brow and I had been recording with Jimmy Bowen before that since 1984. Tony and I had been big friends for a long time there at MCA Records, so he started producing me and we had a blast with that. Then we went on tour and it was hard. I was way out of shape. I had to get back into shape quick. I had a brace around my back and my stomach because it was the big staircase I had to walk up and down. A lot of stuff happened, but a lot of great things happened out of that. Number-one, Shelby is 30 years old; ‘Fancy’ is my biggest song of my career; four great singles off this album, so I’m really thrilled that we’re getting to re-release it. Who would’ve thought you would’ve been able to do that?”

Mickey Guyton releases her brand new EP, Bridges, on Friday. The collection features “Black Like Me,” “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?” and her new single “Heaven Down Here,” written by Mickey along with Gordie Sampson, Josh Kear and Hillary Lindsey. The song, which is a plea to God to help our current world, was written after Mickey witnessed the recent protests outside her door.

“’Heaven Down Here’ is another just really important song for me. I wrote it in my apartment during quarantine after watching all of the protests outside of my door,” says Mickey. “And it’s just been a beautiful response. People feel seen. People feel like they’re heard in these moments. It’s so hard right now. People can’t afford to buy food. People can’t afford to pay their rent. People miss people, and this song kind of really speaks to all of that.”

Mickey is set to perform “What Are You Gonna Tell Her” on next week’s ACM Awards.

Named one of US Weekly’s Best Albums of 2020 so far, SOUTHSIDE is Hunt’s second No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart following his 3x Platinum debut album MONTEVALLO. Like MONTEVALLO, Hunt wrote every track on SOUTHSIDE including his recent back-to-back No. 1 hits “Kinfolks” and “Hard to Forget,” and the record-breaking “Body Like A Back Road.”

 The New York Times says SOUTHSIDE is “a reminder that Hunt is a Nashville provocateur who can write better songs than almost everyone he’s trying to provoke,” while Rolling Stone pegs Hunt as “an innovator who has remade country in his own image and also figured out how to reclaim its past.” Billboard notes, “his ace storytelling and ability to incorporate hip-hop influence into a more modernized form of country are still intact,” and Stereogum indicates, “Hunt’s formidable charisma and world-building ability” as the through lines of SOUTHSIDE. The album has also earned praise from American Songwriter, Associated Press, Entertainment Weekly, NPR and more. Listen to SOUTHSIDE HERE
