<p class="MsoNormal">“I have no idea what my legacy will be, I’ll have to let someone else decide that,” a <span> </span>typical low key comment from the man known as “The King of Country” George Strait.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Strait will release album number 38 on August 11<sup>th</sup>, <em>Twang</em>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Selling a whopping 67 million albums and countless singles, he has become the tenth best selling artist of all-time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">The 57 year old two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year winner says this album was special because he actually co-wrote some of the songs with his son, Bubba.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">“I had a great time writing this album,” stated Strait in a <a href="http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/vivanashvegas/1280/strait-talkfirst-on-yahoo-music/" target="_blank">Yahoo.com interview</a>, “I am gonna continue from now on.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Son Bubba and Strait, along with legendary songwriter Dean Dillon, wrote <em>Living For The Night. </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">He said his son inspired him to write by starting to write for his dad. George was a little concerned about writing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">“I knew Dean was a great songwriter, it was me and Bubba I was worried about.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Straight and his son contributed to three of the album&#8217;s songs while Dillon and his daughter Jessie Jo co-wrote on the record also.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>The Breath You Take</em> was co-written by the duo along with Casey Beathard.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">The album also features the first song George has recorded entirely in Spanish, <em>El Rey</em>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Strait will be live in concert shortly before his release. He takes the stage in Houston,  Texas this Saturday in Reliant Stadium.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Tickets are available for as low as $48 at <a href="http://www.bubbasgottickets.com/concert-tickets/country-folk/george-strait">www.BubbasGotTickets.com</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">“When I get off of work on Friday after working like a dog all week,” Strait sings, “I need a little <em>Twang</em>.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">We all look forward to his latest gift to country music <a href="http://www.thephatguyknows.com/?p=480" target="_blank">fans</a> due in stores next Tuesday.</p>
