George Strait is at it again, proving that he really is the king of country music with the upcoming release of his 39th studio album, Here For A Good Time. The album, which will be released on September 6th, includes an all-star cast of songwriters and producers, including George, his son Bubba, Dean Dillon, and Tony Brown.
The title track and first single “Here For A Good Time” is George’s 89th career single and second highest debut, coming in at No. 16 on the Billboard charts after only eight weeks. Though the song contains the lyrics, “I ain’t here for a long time, I’m here for a good time,” George’s illustrious three-decade career clearly says otherwise. He has sold almost 69 million records, has more No. 1 singles than Elvis, and has the most RIAA platinum certifications of anyone in country music history. His legendary status was formally recognized when he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006, but that hasn’t slowed him down at all.
Coming on the heels of his last album, Twang, which debuted at No. 1, Here For A Good Time is a clear expression of how much George still truly enjoys making music for all of his fans. Starting today, GeorgeStrait.com is offering an exclusive album pre-order package that includes the full length Here For A Good Time CD, a limited edition T-Shirt, poster and instant download the single “Here For A Good Time” as well as a sweepstakes to enter for a chance to see George Strait on tour in 2012.
