COWBOYS AND DREAMERS: 31st Studio Album for MCA Arrives September 6
Set to Wrap Summer Stadium Dates This Weekend at Soldier Field in Chicago
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 19, 2024) – On the heels of setting a record for largest single ticketed concert in U.S. History last month with 110,905 fans in attendance for The King at Kyle Field, Country Music Hall of Fame member George Strait shares another taste of new music from his forthcoming 31st studio record Cowboys And Dreamers with “Three Drinks Behind.” Listen to the song HERE and pre-save/pre-add Cowboys And Dreamers, set for release Sept. 6, HERE.
Written by Benjamin Gaither, Jeff Silvey, and Kim Williams, and produced by Strait with Chuck Ainlay and Tony Brown, “Three Drinks Behind” finds the Texas native waxing poetic about escaping the stresses of the day with a visit to a bar filled with good buddies and good drinks.
So, set ‘em up, Joe
Set ‘em up all around
There ain’t no good reason for anyone to feel down
Half empty, half full
It’s all in your state of mind
It’s just that the whole world is three drinks behind
The follow-up to Honky Tonk Time Machine, Strait’s 27th No. 1 Billboard Country album, Cowboys And Dreamers features 13 new songs, including two previously released tracks “MIA Down in MIA” and “The Little Things” as well as “Honky Tonk Hall Of Fame” featuring Chris Stapleton along with his own rendition of Waylon Jennings’ “Waymore’s Blues.”
The Texas Troubadour wraps his series of summer stadium shows this Saturday, July 20 at Chicago, Ill.’s Soldier Field. He returns to the stage this December supersizing his long-standing “Strait to Vegas” show with a date at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium to mark the 37th installment of the engagement. He will once again team up with Chris Stapleton, and they will be joined by special guests Little Big Town.
