How to Listen To George Strait's New Album Early

George Strait is one of the greatest country acts of all time. It's a blessing whenever we get another record from the 'All My Exes Live in Texas' singer. Thankfully, we're in luck with a new album available everywhere on September 6th. However, you can hear it early too.

According to Record Store Day, George Strait will allow listening events to take place on Wednesday, September 4th. There, you can hear Cowboys And Dreamers early and with fellow country music lovers. So far, he's already released 3 songs, MIA Down in MIA, The Little Things, and Three Drinks Behind.

Additionally, one of the 13 songs on the album sees George collaborate with country music darling Chris Stapleton. The Tennessee Whiskey crooner teams up with Strait for Honky Tonk Hall Of Fame towards the back half of the album.
