With fall looming, country stars are lining up with dates for new albums and with some brand new singles.
Among the acts with new songs in release are Reba McEntire, Kenny Chesney and Sugarland, each of whom put out a new single in the last three weeks. Reba’s “Turn On The Radio” comes from an album due in November — her first with in-demand producer Dann Huff, known for his work with Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts. Kenny’s new song, “The Boys Of Fall,” embraces high-school football, and it landed in country’s Top 15 in just its second week on the charts. And Sugarland’s “Stuck Like Glue” was written with two other people, including a member of the rock band Better Than Ezra.
Here’s what they’re saying about their new music:
• Reba, on “Turn On The Radio”: “I fell for the song immediately. I love that it’s an up-tempo, strong-woman song about a woman who has been done wrong by her lover and is telling him to turn on the radio if he wants to hear from her through their favorite song. Dann Huff and the musicians did a wonderful job bringing the heart beat out in the song. It definitely gets your attention from the very start.”
• Kenny, on “The Boys Of Fall”: “I’ve been very lucky to have a lot of songs do well, and to have a lot of songs touch a lot of people, but I don’t know if I’ve had a song like ‘Boys of Fall,’ ever. When I first heard this song, I knew that there was gonna be a lot of people that heard the lyrics to this song and really be able, not just to relate to it, but they live with it because there are so many lessons that, in life, that you learn on the football field that are very parallel with what happens in everyday life.”
• Sugarland, on “Stuck Like Glue”: “The song came about in a really fun way,” says Jennifer Nettles. “We were actually in the studio. It’s one of two songs that we wrote while we were in the studio process.” “It all came born out of this really cool beat and this really cool hook,” adds Kristian Bush. “It’s an infectious beat — it almost sticks kind of like glue to you.”

I love Reba's new single Turn on The Radio. Fun Fun. She is sooo talented.
I think Reba's song Turn On The Radio is Awesome!!!! Sugarland's song Stuck Like Glue made me laugh and smile. I really think it's a fun song. Kenny's The Boys Of Fall is very encouraging for young boys.It's a great song. But Reba's is my favorite. Way to go Reba.
I Love Sugarland’s new song, along w/
others on their new album. I’m going to
see them in concert @ Orange Bch, AL,
and we are from Atlanta. The Gulf can use
the business and Sugarland is always a
party “sold out” as all have been. I totally
enjoy Kenny and Reba’s new songs also.
I agree if u don’t have anything nice to
say, keep it to yourself. All these artist
work hard at their art!!! U GO GUYS!!
I'm wondering who in the world Reba McEntire is sleeping with to get as far as she has? Listening to & watching this horrible talent is as painful as a colonoscopy with a live raccoon.
Just don't listen to her….. You are very demeaning in your comments!!! If you don't have something nice to say, then don't say it. Period !!!! She has worked her butt off to get where she is in life !!!
LOVE REBA MCENTIRE !!!

Looking forward to hearing Reba and Kenny. I just pre ordered Blakes new CD. Can't wait to get it. I am really looking forward to some new Flatts too!!
I'm a big fan of all 3 of their work. Are these their best songs? No, but these are definitely good songs, and I'm glad to see that they're being bought and requested!
I love all 3 of these artists!
The only song I like among the three are Kenny Chesney's The Boys of Fall. Reba's song is forgettable and the Sugarland song is flat out awful. It was painful to listen to the entire song.
