Reba McEntire's 2009 CD, Keep On Loving You, courtesy of the Valory Music Co.

"I liked the way it has a lot of different melodies to it. It has great range, but the main reason I like it is because it’s so sassy. I love the attitude of it. It’s totally different, but it reminds me of the attitudes of ‘Can’t Even Get the Blues.’ I seem to have success with sassy attitude songs. This song is about a woman who has been left behind from her partner or boyfriend, and she is trying to feel sad, but it’s just not working, so she’s going on with her life. It’s a strong woman song."

"Just When I Thought I'd Stopped Loving You"
(Mark Nesler, Rivers Rutherford)

"This is the song that Rivers Rutherford wrote with Mark Nesler. I loved the beat and the melody. It reminded me of a Rascal Flatts song in the first part of it. It’s really catchy.

"It’s a song that I’d be singing the middle of the night when I woke up, so I knew it would be a great song when it is in your subconscious like that. I would say this is the least powerful woman song, because she is like, ‘Oh, I can’t give in and take you back one more time, I can’t,’ but then she does. I hate to say it’s a booty call song, but it does remind me of that. I guess this is my booty call song!"

"I Keep On Lovin’ You"
(Ronnie Dunn, Terry McBride)

"We were in the studio recording with Tony Brown, and Tony had said they were just finishing up some of the Brooks & Dunn songs. He said, ‘You ought to listen to this one song.’
"I just love the song. I think it is wonderful. I think it can relate to a couple who have been together for a short time or a long time, but basically a long time. We’ve been through the highs and lows and ups and downs, we’ve fought and gotten back together, but no matter what we go through, I’m going to keep on loving you. I think it’s an anniversary song."

"I Want a Cowboy"
(Katrina Elam, Wayne Kirkpatrick, Jimmie Lee Sloas)

"Katrina Elam co-wrote this song. I am a huge fan of Katrina Elam. She is one of the best singers I’ve ever heard.
"I asked Tony to ask Katrina if I could cut ‘I Want a Cowboy.’ She came in and sang some of the harmony on it too. It’s a great kick-ass song that is good attitude. And I’m a cowgirl; I’ve rodeoed 10 years and I’m a third-generation rodeo brat, so I thought it was just perfect."
