Country Music Hall of Fame member George Strait has unveiled the first track from his forthcoming album, Cowboys And Dreamers. The track, "MIA Down in MIA," marks an exciting preview of the highly anticipated album, announced during Strait's sold-out performance at Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium earlier this month.

"MIA Down in MIA" was written by Adam Craig and Dean Dillon and produced by Strait alongside Chuck Ainlay. The track features Strait's Ace in the Hole Band, with an exceptional performance by fiddle player Gene Elders.

"I'm dedicating this record to my longtime manager and friend Erv Woolsey and my longtime fiddle player and friend Gene Elders, who we lost on the same day, March 20, 2024, as well as my longtime friend and road manager Tom Foote, who we lost on April 29, 2024," Strait shared. "I will never forget all of the good times we had together. May they rest in peace with our Lord Jesus Christ."

Building on the success of *Honky Tonk Time Machine*, his 27th No. 1 Billboard Country album, *Cowboys And Dreamers* is set to feature 13 new tracks. Among these is "Honky Tonk Hall Of Fame," a collaboration with Chris Stapleton that Strait debuted during his Lucas Oil Stadium performance, as well as Strait's rendition of Waylon Jennings' "Waymore's Blues."

Strait will continue his tour on Saturday, May 25, at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa. The tour will stop in Charlotte, North Carolina; East Rutherford, New Jersey; College Station, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; Detroit, Michigan; and Chicago, Illinois. It will culminate with Strait's 37th installment of his celebrated "Strait to Vegas" show on December 7 at Allegiant Stadium.
