Reba McEntire Releases ‘The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia (Eric Kupper Remix)’
‘I think it’s very important to keep the songs of mine that my fans grew up on alive,’ says McEntire.
Reba McEntire has offered another taste of what to expect from her upcoming three-part box set Revived Remixed Revisited with “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia” (Eric Kupper Remix).
The pulsing remix offers another take on Reba’s iconic hit ahead of the full release of Remixed, one of three collections of her forthcoming box set release on October 8, available for pre-order.
Revived Remixed Revisited is a reimagined collection of some of Reba’s most adored songs. Revived Remixed Revisited offers Reba’s biggest hits as they’ve evolved over the years in her live show, featuring all new arrangements of fan favorites like “Is There Life Out There” and “Can’t Even Get The Blues” recorded with Reba’s touring band.
Remixed puts a whole new spin on songs including “Little Rock” and “I’m A Survivor” and on Revisited, Reba works with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb to strip back and recut songs like “Somebody Should Leave” and “Consider Me Gone,” and it features the long-awaited pairing of Reba and Dolly Parton on the classic duet “Does He Love You.”
The collection spans Reba’s entire career and today, with Reba previously releasing “Is There Life Out There” from Revived, “I’m A Survivor” (Lafemmebear Remix) from Remixed, and “Consider Me Gone” from Revisited ahead of the full release.
Regarding the project, McEntire discussed the inspiration in an exclusive interview with Variety. “I’ve been continuing to make new albums,” she says, “and we really haven’t spent the time to slow down enough to revisit and work the catalog and remind people of what we’ve done in the past. I’m really a forward thinker, so that was a little out of my realm [but] I think it’s very important to keep the songs of mine that my fans grew up on [alive].
Reba is also set to hit the road this winter for “Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas,” the longest-running country residency in Las Vegas. The shows are set to take place December 1-15, 2021 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. “Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas,” is a culmination of the friendship and musical admiration the trio has shared since first touring together in 1993 and features more than 30 action-packed hits backed by a band of 10 players from both of their touring crews.
