George Strait releases "22 More Hits"

The new set will consist of 22 fan favorites and well known Strait hit singles that despite not quite reaching number 1 at country radio made an impression on country music fans.

"I've had people ask me why this song or that song wasn't on the Number Ones album," says Strait. "If it's their favorite song, I guess they don't care if it was number one on a chart. This album gave me the chance to include some of the fans other favorites and mine."

The songs that Strait compiled for 22 MORE HITS are all timeless hits like "Unwound" (George's first single and first top 10 hit), "If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger," "Amarillo By Morning," "The Fireman," "Cowboys Like Us," "You'll Be There," "Marina Del Ray."
