BARBARA KLEIN:
Welcome to THIS IS AMERICA in VOA Special English. I'm Barbara Klein. This week on our program, we have music from the latest albums by country singer Reba McEntire and saxophonist David Sanborn.
We also tell you about a hot new group, the Zac Brown Band. And we play music from the movie "Crazy Heart."
(MUSIC)
"Consider Me Gone" is from Reba McEntire's latest album. She has recorded more than thirty albums since she had her first number one song on the country music charts. "Can't Even Get the Blues" was released in nineteen eighty-three.

Reba McEntire has won two Grammy Awards and seven Country Music Association Awards. Add to that her twelve Academy of Country Music Awards and fifteen American Music Awards.
But her main interest in recent years was acting. She had a situation comedy series on television for six seasons. And she starred in a musical play on Broadway. She was Annie Oakley in "Annie Get Your Gun."
Today, the fifty-four year old entertainer says she is only doing music. She spent twenty-five years with MCA Records. Now she has moved to Valory Music, an independent record label in Nashville, Tennessee. Her new album, her first for the new label, is called "Keep on Loving You." She says she was thinking of her loyal fans.
