George Strait\u2019s 30th studio album Honky Tonk Time Machine<\/em> arrives March 29.<\/p>\n

The collection will feature 12 new originals, eight of which are co-written by Strait, plus an updated version of Johnny Paycheck\u2019s \u201cOld Violin.\u201d His grandson, Harvey Strait, appears as a guest vocalist on \u201cGod and Country Music,\u201d and the album closes with the Willie Nelson duet, \u201cSing One with Willie.\u201d \u201cC\u00f3digo\u201d and \u201cGod and Country Music\u201d are available now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Strait co-produced the album with Chuck Ainlay.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to have some new music coming out,\u201d Strait shared in a press release. \u201cIt\u2019s been about two years since I\u2019ve released a record. It was great writing with Bubba and Dean again and creating such a beautiful song with Bubba and Jeff Hyde. Also, it was a very special thing for me to be able to write and sing one with the legend, Willie Nelson. I hope everyone enjoys listening to Honky Tonk Time Machine as much as I enjoyed making it.\u201d<\/p>\n
