Reba has lent her talents on stage and/or on recordings to U2 (When Love Comes To Town), Class of 55 Homecoming (featuring Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins), Huey Lewis and the News (Soulsville album), Tracy Nelson, Jim Dickinson, Sid Selvidge, Lucero, and Jimmy Thackery, and host of other artists.
