In more Reba McEntire news, the Oklahoma native and country music star is scheduled to make her music debut on the home-shopping TV channel QVC on at 6 p.m. Oklahoma time Friday.

She will preview music from her first new solo album in six years, “Keep On Loving You,” the follow-up to her hit 2007 album “Reba Duets,” according to a news release on Reba.com and her Twitter (@reba).

During the “QVC Presents Q Sessions Live Featuring Reba McEntire” broadcast, the Chockie-raised star will give viewers a sneak peek of her much-anticipated release with a special live performance that will include her new Top 10 single “Strange,” the album’s latest single “Consider Me Gone” and the current dance club hit “I Want A Cowboy.”

Shoppers will also have the opportunity to pre-order “Keep On Loving You” – which has been specially packaged for QVC with a bonus hardback copy of her best-selling autobiography “Reba: My Story” – more than two weeks before street date.

“Music lovers of all ages are in for a real treat with this exciting debut,” said Rich Yoegel, director of merchandising for QVC, in the release. “We are thrilled to not only launch Reba’s newest album but to have her perform live for our viewers. This will certainly be a memorable show that fans won’t want to miss.”

McEntire’s “Strange” has become her second consecutive Top 10 single of 2009, while the video has gone Top 5 at both CMT and GAC. The multimedia superstar was also recently recognized by Billboard, Country Aircheck and Mediabase as the biggest female hitmaker in country music history.

One of the most successful female recording artists in history, McEntire has sold more than 55 million albums worldwide, and her last 13 studio albums have all achieved platinum-plus status. The two-time Grammy Award winner is also an acclaimed film, TV and Broadway actress.

McEntire signed with The Valory Music Co. in November 2008. The move reunited the multimedia entertainer with industry leader Scott Borchetta, now president and CEO of Big Machine Records and sister label The Valory Music Co.

The big-voiced redhead joins Neil Diamond, James Taylor, Kenny Loggins, Barry Manilow and Alabama among the ranks of music stars who have appeared on QVC to perform and sell their music. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s David Hiltbrand recently wrote about the trend in a story that The Oklahoman picked up from McClatchy-Tribune Information Services.
