Tradiitional Country - part 8

This song is both a reinterpretation of an old folk wisdom and a personal memory. The words carry reminders not to wait too long to sing, to drink, to love – and finally, to live.

The closing verse is rooted in something my father told me shortly before he passed: “Remember to live while you are alive.”

It’s about holding on to those words, treasuring the voices of those who came before, and showing that we do not forget.

With Hjördis’ innocent clarity and Hallvardsson’s darker weight, the song bridges tradition and memory, past and present.

This Crazy Love (Album Version)

Multi-media entertainment mogul Reba has become a household name with a successful career that spans across music, television, film, theater and retail. With her latest album LOVE SOMEBODY (Nash Icon Records), Reba marked her twelfth summit atop the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, holding the record for the most Top Country Albums #1s among women and becoming the second artist to have a chart-topping album in each of the last four decades. Solidifying “the country queen continues to rule” (People Magazine) and that “she still has far too much to say to rest on her laurels” (Associated Press), the lead single “Going Out Like That” scored the biggest sales debut of Reba's career while the follow-up “Until They Don’t Love You” highlights even more of her undeniable appeal and loyal fan base. 

She has achieved a rare pinnacle with 35 #1 singles and over 56 million albums sold worldwide, all garnering her a spot in the upper echelon of #1 albums in the Country genre. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Hollywood Bowl inductee has won 15 American Music Awards, 13 ACM Awards, nine People’s Choice Awards, seven CMA Awards and two Grammy Awards. During her 2011 All The Women I Am tour Pollstar and Billboard’s Boxscore named Reba the #1 female Country touring artist, selling a combined total over 9 million tickets in her career. She has received an ACM Career Achievement Honor and 50th Anniversary Milestone Award, American Country Countdown NASH Icon Award, U.S. Congress National Artistic Achievement Award, Andrea Bocelli Foundation Humanitarian Award and will be presented with the Leadership Music Dale Franklin Award in November. The Oklahoma native is also an acclaimed actress with 11 movie credits to her name, including Tremors, North & The Little Rascals. In 2001, she made her Broadway debut in Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun, which the New York Times hailed “without qualification the best performance by an actress in a musical comedy this season.” She also starred in the six-season eponymous sitcom Reba (WB Television Network/The CW) and Malibu Country (ABC). Reba's lifestyle brand with retail partner Dillard’s is currently celebrating 10 years and she has also delved into a separate Reba Beauty line that offers a Deluxstick in colors like “Fancy" and “Survivor." Joining forces with Superstar friends to launch REBA, BROOKS & DUNN: Together in Vegas at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the trio has added more dates to their residency following the initial sold-out run.
