"I think that my song selections are a little more hip," she says. "I know they're more uptempo. They're funky, they're sassy, they've got attitude."

McEntire recorded the still-untitled album with Tony Brown and Mark Bright, best known for his Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts productions.

"Tony did the country swing, the more bluegrass song, and the funkabilly I Want a Cowboy. Mark did the more contemporary songs that I think are stupendous."

The album will include Keep on Loving You, co-written by Ronnie Dunn of Brooks Dunn.

"They didn't put that on their album, and I said, 'Good Lord! Why not?' " McEntire says.

"I said, 'Ronnie, if you're not going to put that on your album, would you let me have it?' He thought about it for a long time, then he finally said, 'You can have it.' "
