2024 has been quite a year for releases from some of our favorite artists across genres. And well, King George is still very much part of the hit making conversation. On September 6, 2024, he will grace us with 13 new classics with the release of his 31rst MCA album Cowboys & Dreamers. Our ears have already been blessed with four released singles from the much anticipated offering.
And of course, King George has ushered in this new audio delicacy in style. He's teamed up with Codigo 1530 to make the event extra special for his fans with a limited edition tequila that will be released on September 6th along side the album.
King George has been busy breaking records and selling out shows across America despite limited radio airplay. Just recently, he broke the record for the largest crowd at a ticketed event. George has also been quite busy these past couple of years sharing his talent for worthy causes and tributes.
One such tribute is happening on Wednesday, October 9 at the Propst Arena in Huntsville, Alabama. The iconic Tennessee Whiskey songwriter Dean Dillion will be honored for his incredible trajectory and footprint in country music. The Country Music Hall of Famer is
King George's longtime friend and go-to songwriter.
Last week, George Strait released, yet another banger from his upcoming album. George Strait's new single Three Drinks Behind is just what we need right now as we wind down summer and head towards voting in a new U.S. president.
There will be those that get hooked on the drinking in a bar with friends and new chums part, but there is so much more to this song.. The tune is about getting past differences by aligning with what we can agree on which is a lesson we can all learn and embrace..
In the song, what we can all agree on is having a good time, and not letting things get in the way of our peace of mind and happiness.. George also has some very definite ideas on how this can be accomplished when you read the following line:
What we need is a little more love and less fear.
This is absolutely the sentiment we need and hearing it from The King drives the point home. George very clearly states that we have the power to look at things from different perspectives including a more positive one.
Half empty, half full
It's all in your state of mind
The song also tips its hat to Vern Gosdin with the line Set'em Up Joe
who I truly hope will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame one day.. A side note because I'm a music history buff. Do you know who "Joe" is? The Texas Troubadour Ernest Tubb owned a Texas honky tonk, and one of his bartenders was named Joe. He even wrote a song mentioning him included below. Vern Gosdin's song "Set'em Up Joe" pays tribute to Ernest Tubb..
Cowboys & Dreamers will probably debut high on the Billboard Hot 200 chart as it is The King's first album in five years. I am really looking forward to hearing his duet with Chris Stapleton! King George will be performing in Las Vegas on December 7th, 2024. You can find out more here.
Meanwhile, don't forget to spin George's new single and share it across social media as every mention counts. We've included the official audio video for his new song Three Drinks Behind below, and take these words King George says in the song to heart:
There ain't no good reason for anyone to feel down :)
