I appreciate you listening to Big Machine Radio and the Stronger ThanThe Truth album release special. We are here with Reba. We've gotOne more song to talk about on the album. A lot of times, I think aSong can be interpreted in so many different ways, depending on who'sListening to it. And I understand that "You Never Gave Up On Me"Took on sort of a new inspirationWhen you thought about recording itWell, the song was originally one of the songs I was looking at forThe gospel album. And then I didn't record it, but I kept it 'causeI love the song. And then when I started looking through my computerAll of my songs that I keep, I got the idea, "That's a great songFor Mama." Because who, besides God, has never given up on me? MamaThat is so true. HahaAnd Katherine and I did it on one take. Buddy said, "You wanna doIt again?" I said, "I don't think I can." I sent it to Susie andMark, and I wanted them to play it for Mama on Christmas EveThey're in Oklahoma, I was here in Tennessee. And, uh, she sat thereAnd listened to it. I sent the lyrics and everything so she'd be ableTo make sure that she heard every word. And she cried. And she wasVery appreciative, she loved it. But I meant it with all my heartI know you did 'cause you can hear it justListening to you sing this song. And you knowTalk to me about your mom's influence on your careerOh, Mama's encouragement meant everything to me. She did the sameFor Alice Pake and Susie. Alice with her rodeoing, Pake with hisRoping and his singing and with his cattle. Susie with her collegeWith her singing, with her ministry, with everything she did. AllOf us kids, people will come up and say, "Oh, Jackie, aren't youProud of Reba?" And she'll go, "I'm proud of all four of my kids."She kinda bristles up. All my kids are good.
