Twenty-five years ago today, Reba McEntire took her final bow as Annie Oakley in Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun — and she’s marking the milestone the only way a Country Music Hall of Famer really can: by cracking open the vault.

Out now via MCA, Reba McEntire: Songs from Annie Get Your Gun delivers two never-before-released recordings from her show-stopping 2001 Broadway run: “You Can’t Get A Man With A Gun” and “I Got Lost In His Arms.” For fans who’ve spent a quarter century wishing they’d snagged a ticket to the Marquis Theatre, this is the next best thing — the receipts, in glorious studio quality.

A Broadway Run That Became Box Office Gold

Reba’s five-month stint replacing Bernadette Peters wasn’t just a fun detour for the Oklahoma native — it was a full-blown cultural moment. Playbill crowned her the “New Force of Nature” whose “name rocketed to the pantheon of great ladies of the American musical theatre.” Variety raved that “McEntire’s energy and enthusiasm seem to shed a new glow on the whole production,” praising how “the particular qualities of McEntire’s lovely singing bring something fresh and exciting to Irving Berlin’s score.” The New York Times went even further, calling it “without qualification the best performance by an actress in a musical comedy this season.”

Not bad for her first — and, to date, only — Broadway appearance.

Part Of A 50-Year Celebration

The Annie Get Your Gun release is the latest drop in Reba’s ongoing 50-year career celebration, which sees her rolling out a themed music capsule every single month. Each capsule pairs a freshly recorded song with carefully curated tracks that map the evolution of one of country music’s most enduring voices. Last month brought the Hurt Like That EP, and a companion playlist — “The Rise Of Reba” — is also live now for fans who want the deeper dive.

Whether you’re a lifelong Reba loyalist or a Broadway musical theater kid who’s been quietly obsessed with the 2001 cast recording your whole life, these two unreleased tracks are the kind of archival gift that doesn’t come around often. Hit play, tip your hat to Annie Oakley, and let Reba remind you why she’s spent 50 years at the top.
