NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (October 4, 2013) – Legendary music icon Kenny Rogers returns with his brand new album You Can’t Make Old Friends on October 8th via Warner Bros. Records. Fans can stream the record
in advance of release through October 7th on Amazon.com. The 11-track
album reunites Rogers with long-time friend and collaborator, Dolly
Parton, for a brand new duet on the title track, “You Can’t Make Old
Friends,” while the official music video was exclusively debuted on Good Morning America last month.
In celebration of the album release, Rogers has begun a series of
media appearances that kicked off with an interview and performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this past Wednesday. Rogers was featured on Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family earlier today and will be on Extra! tonight. Fans can catch Rogers tomorrow, Saturday, on GAC’s Backstory. On Monday, October 7th, Rogers will appear on CBS This Morning and on October 8th, he will perform on Fox & Friends and will be featured live on Bloomberg TV. The media tour wraps up with a visit to Kathie Lee & Hoda on The Today Show Wednesday, October 9th followed by an interview on The Rachael Ray Show, which airs Friday, October 11th.
With a collaboration of producers, including Kyle Lehning, Warren Hartman, and Dann Huff, You Can’t Make Old Friends is Rogers’ first country album since the release of Water & Bridges
in 2006. Rogers considers this upcoming release the most varied and
complete album of his lifetime. “I can honestly say this may be the best
album I’ve ever recorded,” added Rogers. “The musical diversity is
extraordinary. It goes from songs I would normally sing, to songs I
would normally never even listen to. In this business, you do albums to
both grow artistically, and for the sheer love of music. We chose what
I think are the most diverse and best songs I’ve ever had access to.”
A trailblazing recording artist, vocalist, and entertainer, Rogers
has sold more than 120 million records worldwide and recorded more than
65 albums during his illustrious 56 years in show business. Rogers has
charted a record within each of the last seven decades and scored a hit
single in the past six. He was the first country artist to consistently
sell out arenas and quickly became a pop superstar as well – his 28
Billboard Adult Contemporary Top 10’s is fourth-best all time among men,
trailing only Elton John, Neil Diamond, and Elvis Presley. Rogers has
recorded 12 No. 1 albums and 24 No. 1 hits – “The Gambler,” “Lady,”
“Lucille,” “Coward Of The County,” “She Believes in Me,” “Islands in the
Stream” (with Dolly Parton) and “Every Time Two Fools Collide” (with
Dottie West) among them. His Greatest Hits album has sold over
24 million copies worldwide to date. He is the RIAA’s 8th best-selling
male artist of all time with one Diamond album, 19 Platinum albums and
31 Gold albums.
