Cher and reba at the Academy of country music awards last year.
Mark Bright comfirms that Cher is going country in an interview:
We know your producing a Country/Pop album for Cher. How did that come about?
A: Cher is a Warner artist, and I’m in an advisory role with Warner. I have a great working relationship with them, but having said that, this opportunity came from Burbank and the A&R folks there. I have met Cher through another friend of mine named Desmond Child several times. He is a close friend who has taught me a lot and remains a very close friend today. Even though the phone call did not come from that relationship, but because we know each other, when she came to Nashville she thought of me. Cher knows that her listeners also listen to country music, so she felt it was a natural thing to develop a country music relationship.
