I have a special place in my heart especially for Reba McEntire's early to mid-80s music.

I'm hoping to create another video that features, "My Kind of Country", her second album released on MCA Records and one of my favorites.

I've been working on this video of Reba's earlier music, from her first 6 studio albums on Mercury Records spanning from 1977-1983. Her first two singles were released in 1976.

I hope you'll check my video out. 🎵

Sylvia, sadly posted earlier today about the passing of one of her band members from the 1980s, Pete Finney. He played steel and acoustic guitars in her band for about 5 years.

She mentions Pete and some of her other band members in this video I recently created.

I thought I'd post it in honor of Sylvia and Pete making awesome music together all those years.
