Pre-Order Strait Out of the Box: Vinyl Collection Beginning Today
George Strait, the undisputed “King of Country Music,” is set to release Strait Out of the Box: Vinyl Collection, a limited-edition, 10-volume vinyl set on sale Friday, Dec. 9, with pre-orders beginning today at GeorgeStraitBoxSet.com.
The American music icon has released 30 studio albums with over 400 cuts in his illustrious career—this unparalleled compilation offers 128 of those songs, featuring an incredible 57 No. 1 singles. With hits spanning 35 prolific years (1981 – 2016), the collection will comprise all of the songs on previous Strait Out Of The Box projects, including singles such as “All My Ex’s Live in Texas,” “Check Yes or No” and “She’ll Leave You with a Smile.”
This multi-volume set concludes a momentous year for the longtime MCA Nashville artist, who released Honky Tonk Time Machine in March. Produced by Strait and Chuck Ainlay, the album quickly became the Country Music Hall of Fame member’s record-extending 27th No. 1 Billboard country album.
With an unmatched 60 singles hitting the top of the charts—more than any other artist in any genre—during the span of his 30+ year career, Strait has collected 33 Platinum or multi-Platinum-selling albums, more than any country artist and ranking third across all genres behind only The Beatles and Elvis Presley. The Texas troubadour is the only artist or act in history to have a Top 10 hit every year for over three decades and recently earned his 100th entry on theBillboard Country Airplay chart with current single “The Weight of the Badge.” He has sold nearly 70 million albums and earned more than 60 major entertainment industry awards.
Strait also recently announced his return to the heartland in 2020 via performances at INTRUST Bank Arena on Friday, Jan. 24 for Visit Wichita Presents Strait to Oz and in Kansas City for Strait to the Heartland at Sprint Center on Saturday, Jan. 25 and Sunday, Jan. 26. Additionally, fans can catch Strait later this year at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas on Nov. 22 and 23 and at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Dec. 6 and 7.
