George Strait fans will be getting something old and something new from the country music superstar in the month of September. The singer will release 'Icon,' the ninth greatest hits package of his illustrious career, on September 13, with his latest studio album, 'Here for a Good Time,' dropping on September 6.

'George Strait: Icon' will feature 11 tracks, including 'I Saw God Today,' which won the 2008 CMA Awards Single of the Year trophy. Also included is 2007 ACM Awards Single and Song of the Year, 'Give It Away,' which marked King George's 41st No. 1 single, breaking Conway Twitty's previous record with the most No. 1 songs on Billboard's Country Songs chart.

To date, George has had 57 chart-topping tunes and has sold nearly 69 million albums domestically. According to the RIAA, he is the 12th best-selling recording artist in the United states overall.

Why release another greatest hits a week after your new CD hits stores? Probably George had nothing to do with this.

I wish he would come out with some of the older songs of other artists like he sang in the early years at the Broken Spoke.
