George Strait releases his new album, Cold Beer Conversation, on Friday (September 25th). The collection, which features 13 songs including the title track, will be available as an exclusive download on iTunes/Apple Music and at Walmart.

Even though he wrapped his last tour, The Cowboy Rides Away, more than a year-and-a-half ago, George isn’t done yet. “I said all along, you know, I wasn’t going to tour anymore, but I also said that I wasn’t retiring by any means and I still wanted to do some dates,” says King George. “So, after we did the last show at the AT&T Center in Dallas, we worked really hard getting the live album out and the CMT special and those kind of things. And then I went in the studio and cut a new record.”

This is the first new studio album in two years from the Country Music Hall of Famer. His last studio album was the Gold-certified Love is Everything, which featured the Platinum-certified No. 1 hit (and 60th No. 1 hit of his career) “Give It All We Got Tonight” as well as the Gold-certified hit “I Got A Car.”
