straitGeorge Strait — Singer and Songwriter
“Living for the Night,” the debut single from George Strait‘s upcoming Twang album will be available to radio stations across the country tomorrow (5/28) via Play MPE. Check those songwriting credits carefully and you’ll see that this song is the singer’s first single credit as a songwriter. Strait wrote “Living for the Night” with his son, Bubba, and Dean Dillon. Strait’s only other cut as a songwriter was in 1982 with “I Can’t See Texas From Here” off his Strait from the Heart album, but it was never released as a single.
