Reba is nearing completion on her first new studio album since 1999's So Good Together. The new CD, Room to Breathe, will be in stores November 18th.

The first single, "I'm Gonna Take That Mountain," is a high energy country tune that hits radio airwaves August 25th.

The twelve track project also contains a duet with Reba's MCA label mate, VINCE GILL, "It Just Has to Be this Way." CMT.COM recently quoted co-producer BUDDY CANNON, "I tell you, man, it's a great album. It's one of the highlights of my career." Buddy's co-producers for the release are Reba and Norro Wilson.

In support of the album, Reba was recently visited by CBS TELEVISION'S "48 HOURS." The news program also plans to visit Reba in Los Angeles; look for Reba's segment to air in November. Additionally in November, Reba will appear in the pages of IN STYLE and on the cover of AMERICAN PROFILE. And, look for special Reba programming including a brand new REBA MCENTIRE: INSIDE FAME to air on CMT this fall.

You might be surprised to also find Reba on supermarket shelves in the next few weeks. As national spokesperson for FIRST BOOK, Reba is featured on Cheerios boxes starting in mid-August. Reba's photo and testimonial appear as part of Cheerios' efforts to enhance children's literacy.

Reba heads back to Los Angeles this week to start work on episode one of season three of REBA. The season premieres with a special hour-long episode on Friday, September 12, in REBA's new timeslot, 8:00 PM/7:00 PM CENTRAL.
