Reba McEntire is celebrating the 30th anniversary of her album Starting Over with a special anniversary edition, due out Jan. 23.

The new anniversary edition features three bonus tracks including the never-before-released “Heat Wave,” out now, and will be available for the first time ever on vinyl. Starting Over debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart upon its release on Oct. 3, 1995, and its lead single “On My Own,” was a collaboration that united four powerhouse voices: Reba, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride and Linda Davis. The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA.

Reba’s Top 10 success spans five straight decades, landing her in the singular group with only George Jones, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton. Her latest single “Trailblazer” featuring Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert, garnered 2.6 million on-demand streams in its first week, marking a new personal best for Reba in the streaming era.

Starting Over Track List:
1. “Talking In Your Sleep”
2. “Please Come To Boston”
3. “On My Own”
4. “I Won’t Mention It Again”
