Congratulations are in order for Reba Mcentire, son Shelby Blackstock and Shelby’s wife, Rissa. The Blackstocks are about to make Reba a grandmother.
Their baby boy is due in October.  This will be the couple’s first baby.

It’s been two-and-a-half years since Cody Johnson dropped his album Leather, and it appears he is ready for new music.
Cody shared a mysterious post on Instagram that says, “Feels like it’s about time to start the next chapter.” The photos that accompany show Cody at a cabin where he appears to be writing and recording, and the music playing is a new song called “I Want You.”
