Return of the King of Country

"Here for a Good Time" is the new single released by George Strait, marking the end of "Twang" singles and a new album. Two days ago Strait's single hit country radio and it is one of the most played and requested song in the last two days. Fans have been waiting for new music since his last single, "The Breath You Take", was released July 12 of last year to country radio nationwide. "Here for a Good Time" debuts at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart on its official date of release to radio stations. It is his second highest debut since "I Saw God Today" from his "Troubadour" album back in 2008. 

GeorgeStrait.com also announces that a new album is scheduled to be released sometime this fall . . . no word, though, on the title of the album. "Here for a Good Time" will be available on iTunes June 28.

Strait's latest single is a great song and I really enjoyed listening to it on the radio. The song, written by Strait, his son Bubba, and Dean Dillon, takes up the same topic of "The Breath You Take", but in a more uptempo, cheerier kind of way. I will try to create a decent video as I did for "Twang" for y'all to enjoy! In the meantime, I leave you with a quote from the reigning ACM Artist of the Decade:

"'I think this is the longest time, during my recording career, without anything new on the radio. It’s good to be back and I want to thank country radio for their continued support. Have a great summer!'" - George Strait
