Barbara Mandrell fans are in luck! The country music icon just announced she will release a collection of some of her greatest hits on vinyl in July, exclusively at Cracker Barrel stores nationwide. The record, After All These Years: A Collection, features some of her biggest hits, including “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool,” “One of a Kind Pair of Fools,” “Happy Birthday Dear Heartache” and “If Loving You is Wrong (I Don’t Want to Be Right).”
“When I listen to the songs that were selected from different albums I recorded, I think about those of you that I recorded them for and those of you that are hearing them for the first time,” Barbara said in a statement. “The greatest desire of my heart was to be an entertainer. My Heavenly Father — and you — gave me my 38-year career in show business. I’m deeply grateful and I hope that these selections from some of my albums entertain you.”
After All These Years: A Collection will also include one of her biggest hits, “Sleeping Single in a Double Bed.” The 71-year-old is releasing a remix of the classic tune, produced by Dave Audé, whose numerous credits include Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Madonna, Sting and more.
“I grew up as a kid on the West Coast watching the Barbara Mandrell Show and immediately became a fan,” Audé said. “I am always humbled by the huge talent I’ve been able to work with throughout my career and Barbara is right there at the top. It’s been an honor to remix and re-imagine Barbara’s first Number One hit ‘Sleeping Single In A Double Bed’ into something fresh and exciting.”
