A New Reba Christmas Song Is Out
Reba is currently working on a new Christmas album that is due out next year. If you don't want to wait until next year, you can at least here one new song. This new song, "This Christmas," is included on a new compilation CD called "A Country Christmas - '98." I found mine at Target and I think it may be a Target exclusive item. They had a similar album out last year. The price is only $5.99 so you may want to check it out. Of the ten selections, seven are new. The other artists are: Vince Gill, Steve Wariner, Randy Travis, Mark Chestnut, Gary Alan, Tracy Byrd, Lee Ann Womack, Collin Raye, and Trisha Yearwood.
