Re

Her recording career spans 15 years and eight albums, but Terri Clark might just now be hitting her stride.

With his new album, ‘Here for a Good Time,’ just a few weeks from store shelves, it’s time for George Strait to start getting ready to hit the road again. As he revealed in a recent announcement, that’s exactly what he has planned for 2012 — and he’s bringing Martina McBride with him.

In their latest video message to fans, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert dropped a bombshell: They’ve decided to collaborate on a full-length album. But don’t go getting excited for a record of his ‘n’ her duets — as it turns out, it won’t be their album.

It’s an approach that’s paid off: his latest single, ‘Take a Back Road,’ is the fastest-rising of his career. And it’s also the title track of his next album, due October 4. Rea
