Aaron Tippin is celebrating his 25th year as a country music star this year, and will commemorate it with the release of his album Aaron Tippin 25.

The two-disc, 25-track album features freshly recorded versions of ten of Tippin’s biggest career hits, as well as 15 new songs.  This anniversary compilation marks the first time Tippin has released new music in over six years.

“I had so much fun writing and recording this stuff,” says Tippin.  “It’s always great to get to sing the old hits which have brought me to where I am now but it’s also energizing to do new songs.  I co-wrote with some awesome writers for this project.”

“I even recorded five songs that you’d probably never expect to hear me sing,” notes Tippin.  A few of the more surprising songs Tippin included on the compilation are Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight” and the Georgia Satellites’ “Keep Your Hands To Yourself.”  “My son Tom sings with me on Al Green’s ‘Let’s Stay Together’ and man, I’m proud of that!” he says.  “And I put a gospel tune on there that I wrote over 30 years ago and I had the whole Tippin family sing on it.  It’s called ‘The House Of The Lord.'”

On 25 years gone by, Tippin reflects and says, “I think about it and go, ‘Wow. What am I doing still here?’ I am the luckiest hillbilly that ever lived.”

Aaron Tippin 25 will be available for purchase online exclusively at www.aarontippin.com.

Lee Greenwood to Release Children’s Book

Lee Greenwood has written a children’s book titled “Proud to be an American” that will hit stores Memorial Day Weekend (May 23-25th).  This will be his third book, first for children.

“Growing up on my grandparents farm in California gave me an appreciation for folks who worked hard and got by on very little. My grandparents lost their farm after government regulations prevented them from farming the more profitable fields. But they didn’t question why it happened; they just started a new business. They believed no matter what difficulties we experienced, we would be okay because we were free. America is still the greatest country on earth. As you sit reading the words of my song to your child or grandchild in my new book, it is my hope that young and old alike will feel tremendous pride in being citizens of the United States of America,” he writes.
