As I sit here and reflect how greatful I am for having the opportunity to release a third Greatest Hits package, I am reminded of all the people in my world who have played such an instrumental role in this project.
It all begins with a song. Thank you to the songwriters who trusted me with your pieces of art. I hope I’ve made you proud.
To the producers, engineers and musicians who added your magic. I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with some of the greastest. Thank you for putting your fingerprints on these songs and for making the studio so much fun. Haven’t we had a blast?!
To CuntrCountry Radio, you are our voice. If you don’t play it, it doesn’t get heard. It’s as simple as that. Thank you for always giving me a place to call home on your format.
To the fans, my bosses, thank you for allowing me to do what I love to do.
To my family and friends who surround me with all the things a girl needs to keep on going. Thank you. I love you.
To the One. Thank you for allowing me to do what I feel You called me to do. I continue to let You lead the way. I’m a survivor because of You.
Th everyone who has given your time, offered a word of encourageement, had an idea, took a chance… I am forever greatful.
Always,
Reba
