<p>Today, legendary artist <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UMTfmHATJih4Wkuvwgw6_REdtnG2yVm2dxo7C4FGX8y01VvsjNEdiUnb4PLg_-dxQHTeRJeB-DNAe-LMuXAWvYWpIT8G1fnH4ocgCVbNOFZVfcszVOjEJZCvGh986m7tazzygh7IrmfW6OWwhcCe8gSwdvLV4WyVkq64cudntrUh0bSj20owzyVPJqNlIMw-&;c=7ik2vg_g75NJKdzKD18g7zBadz3YLtL-NqaEbHp_Fo5HHThMbLNtSg==&;ch=OvmsmqX7u3TMYVK-GDj94jTpUXuG9BqaCwesw709C806R8sbYqy4Ug==">Radney Foster</a> announces his newest project&#8211;a CD/book combo titled <em>For You To See The Stars </em>to be released on</p>
<p><strong>September 15</strong>. The collection of short stories, released via Working Title Farm, will be Foster&#8217;s very <strong>first</strong> print publication. The record (Devil&#8217;s River Records) marks Foster&#8217;s eleventh studio album and will feature nine new songs, along with a special re-recording of his top single, &#8220;Raining on Sunday.&#8221;<br />

While it&#8217;s evident that Texas has always been an inspiration for his music, in <em>For You To See The Stars</em>, Foster explores various landscapes, both physical and emotional, from the story of a retired spy in New Orleans, to the tale of a Dallas lawyer wandering the Rocky Mountains in search of redemption, to a post apocalyptic parable of a world in endless war.</p>
<p>The beauty of this CD/book combo lives within Foster&#8217;s extensive imagery, which not only further expands the meaning behind Foster&#8217;s songs, but gives the reader a look at the thought process behind his songwriting. &#8220;For me, the goal of writing is always to touch that one person so much that they wonder how I got a peek into their living room&#8211;how I understood exactly what they felt. More than just rhyming or having a pretty melody, I try to express a part of the human condition that can make someone want to laugh, cry, make love, or all of the above.&#8221;</p>
<p>Foster has written <strong>eight number one hit singles</strong>, including his own &#8220;Nobody Wins,&#8221; and &#8220;Crazy Over You&#8221; with duo Foster &; Lloyd. His discography contains countless cuts by artists ranging anywhere from country (<a title="Keith Urban" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSKUrban/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fkeith-urban-tickets%2F">Keith Urban</a>, The Dixie Chicks, <a title="Luke Bryan" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSLukeBryan/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fluke-bryan-tickets%2F">Luke Bryan</a>, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) to contemporary (Marc Broussard, Hootie &; The Blowfish, Kenny Loggins, Los Lonely Boys).</p>
<p><em>For You To See The Stars</em> is Foster at his classic storytelling best, both as a seasoned singer/songwriter and a soulful writer of prose. Although both components stand alone as separate pieces of art&#8211; they are meant to be enjoyed together for a reason. When coupled, the book and CD give fans a deeper insight into the subconscious of Foster&#8217;s storytelling. Journalist Peter Cooper puts it best, &#8220;Radney Foster writes with uncommon depth of emotion, humor, empathy, and clarity. I&#8217;m going to ask him how he does it, and if he tells me I&#8217;ll let you in on his secret. Until then, it&#8217;s best that we read, wonder, and revel.&#8221;</p>
