Track of the Week

"I Keep on Loving You" by Reba from the album Keep on Loving You

Reba described this song, her newest single, as a message to her fans for sticking by her through the years. It was written by her friends Brooks and Dunn but fits her vocals very well. The song is your standard Reba fare: couples have ups and downs but stick it out. The electric guitar bridge near the end is jarring, but Reba's voice is epic.

In the video, Reba plays a relative attending a wedding, and the camera focuses on different couples going through the story of the song. I don't normally consider Reba much of a looker, but she's really pretty in this video in a stately sort of way.

The song won't be as big as Strange or Consider Me Gone, but it's already in the top twenty which is decent, considering Reba's singles for the previous few years haven't done as well. But she said she back to focusing on music now that her sitcom has been done since three years ago. Her tour is extending in the fall, so hopefully she'll grace Chicago with her presence.

I consider her the Oprah of country music, she's on top but it's all business for her in the guise of feel-good.
