In Nashville News, Glorianas Rachel Reinert didnt have to get into character to sing the trios latest single, Trouble, since the song came from her real-life experience. Rachel co-wrote the song with band mate Mike Gossin about an ex-boyfriend who cheated on her about two years ago. Like anybody, Rachel can be nice and sweet, but its a different story when a guy does her wrong. If you cross me, then then Im gonna make you pay for it, Rachel adds. Video Link: youtube/watch?v=ow89TYdPLy0 Luke Bryan may sing about trucks and girls and drinking beer on a few of his songs, but dont you dare call his music bro country. Luke tells ABC News he finds that term aggravating and derogatory of the country music genre as a whole. He says, Yeah, do I sing about a truck and a beer on one song, but then do I sing about a completely different subject matter. I mean, listen to the whole album and dont judge me on one song. Reba is working with two of her closest friends, Tony Brown and James Stroud, to produce her upcoming studio album, but a new release from one of countrys hottest acts has her thinking its time to rock the boat and work with totally different people on future projects. Reba says, I did hear the new Little Big Town album. Yes. So, yeah, now I’m considering it, yeah. I would love to kinda see what somebody else could do with me. Little Big Towns just-released album, Pain Killer, really pushes the envelope when it comes to loud guitars and gritty song lyrics. Since Reba hasnt released an album since 2010, she wanted to work with familiar people on her next album. Reba says, Its comfortable, and it may be time for me to step out of comfort and go try some new stuff. Look for Rebas new album to come out next year. Glen Campbells Goodbye Tour is captured in the new documentary film, Glen Campbell: Ill Be Me, opening in select theaters Friday. The movie chronicles Glens diagnosis with Alzheimers Disease in 2011 and the 151 shows he played until the disease made it impossible for him to go on performing last year. Ill Be Me doesnt shy away from showing Glens descent into dementia, but it also serves as a reminder of the multi-platinum career that put Glen Campbell in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Scenes from The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour variety show on CBS and his acting role in the western True Grit are included in the movie along with vintage performances of his signature hits, Rhinestone Cowboy, By the Time I Get to Phoenix and many more. The film also shines a light on Glens role as a session guitarist on classic songs from The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and many more acts. Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Bruce Springsteen, Blake Shelton and Paul McCartney are among the stars singing Glens praises in Ill Be Me. Footage of Glens performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards with Blake and The Band Perry is also included, and The Band Perrys Kimberly Perry tells ABC News Radio it was very humbling to be in Glens presence. She says, I always feels like hes just a living piece of history, a lot like Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton. Her brother Neil Perry recalls Glen giving it his all, even at the rehearsals for their Grammy Awards performance. He was getting ready to play Rhinestone Cowboy, Neil says, and I remember before he did, he took his guitar off, someone handed him an actual rhinestone jacket. He put it on, and then played the song, just for rehearsals. So, that was pretty cool to see that. Kind of him get in character, you know? The Band Perry performs a special version of Glens hit, Gentle on My Mind, featured in Ill Be Me as well. Glen Campbells children, Ashley and Shannon, played in their fathers band on The Goodbye Tour. Even though they knew their dad was a living legend, meeting his fans on the road made a huge impression on them. Ashley tells ABC News Radio, Just [to] hear their own stories of what the show meant to them, and what Glen Campbell means to them. It was just so inspiring to know that my dad had inspired so many people. Glens wife, Kim Campbell, hopes Ill Be Me introduces Glens music and legacy to an entirely new generation of fans. She says, A lot of people arent even aware that hes one of the greatest guitar players that ever lived, and that hes played on so many hits before -- as part of the Wrecking Crew -- before he was ever a solo artist himself. He maybe didnt get the credit that he deserved for so many years. Now, I hope that this film will help people really understand how great of an artist he was.
