The release, All Time Hits & American Anthems, will bring together his classic albums American Patriot and The Definitive Collection in a specially designed box set. The set will be released on July 28.
The Definitive Collection features 23 of Greenwood’s country hits in chronological order – from “It Turns Me Inside Out” (1982) to “We’ve Got It Made” (1990). Elsewhere on the track list is “Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands,” “She’s Lying,” “Ain’t No Trick (It Takes Magic),” “I.O.U,” “Somebody’s Gonna Love You,” “Going, Going, Gone,” “Dixie Road,” “Don’t Underestimate My Love For You,” and, of course, “God Bless the U.S.A.”
American Anthems will stick to just patriotic numbers, including, “America,” “America the Beautiful,” “The Pledge Of Allegiance,” “This Land Is Your Land,” “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Dixie,” “Star Spangled Banner,” “God Bless America.” and “God Bless the U.S.A.”
The release coincides with the 40th anniversary of “God Bless the U.S.A.” Greenwood penned the timeless track in 1983 and released it the following year. Since its release, the song has become a staple in Fourth of July celebrations and other patriotic holidays.
The set also includes an exclusive t-shirt that reads, “Ain’t No Doubt I Love This Land” and a personally signed card from Greenwood. Take a look at the box set, below.
