Strait packs box set
The 3-disc, 56-track collection features 36 hit singles including 26 number ones plus 2 new songs co-written by Strait along with 18 choice album cuts, all personally selected by Strait.
The release spans 20 years of Strait's career from 1996 to 2016 and follows the highly successful, 8x Platinum-selling 1995 release, "Strait Out of the Box."
"Going back through all the songs for this box set does bring back a lot of old memories," said Strait. "A lot of them we considered for radio singles and for whatever reason, we just picked something else. It was not that hard to pick them after I looked through them because there are just so many that are my favorites." The two new songs, "Kicked Outta Country" (Strait/Jamey Johnson) and "You Gotta Go Through Hell" (Strait/Bubba Strait/Dean Dillon) are the first new recordings released from Strait since last year's surprise "Cold Beer Conversation" album.
