Arizona gets Reba encore

By Cathalena E. Burch

It's been 20 years since country music dynamo Reba McEntire claimed the Country Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year throne.

She won the statue four years straight until K.T. Oslin ended her run in 1988.

That was the last year the CMA honored the raven-haired songstress, who has gone on to create some of country music's most memorable music and branch out into theater and television.

That could change Nov. 9 when the CMA hands out the 2004 awards. McEntire, who returns to Arizona for a concert at America West Arena, 201 E. Jefferson St., in Phoenix Saturday, has the daunting task of unseating reigning champ Martina McBride in a pool of possibles that includes honky-tonker Terri Clark and vocalist supreme Alison Krauss.

McEntire's Phoenix show - it's her second in Arizona since she headlined Country Thunder USA in Florence in April - comes at the tail end of her first full-length tour in three years. The concert begins at 8 p.m. TIckets are $32.50-$72.50 through Ticketmaster, 321-1000.
