Collin Raye’s career-spanning collection, “Twenty Five Years, Twenty Five Hits,” is finally available for streaming starting today. Originally released in limited pressings in 2018, the album revisits Raye’s most iconic songs with reflective new musical and vocal arrangements that embrace his artistic growth since they were first recorded. In addition to the 25 hits, the album also features three deeply meaningful bonus songs: “Undefeated,” “She’s With Me” and “Shall We Gather at the River.” Stream “Twenty Five Years, Twenty Five Hits” HERE via StarVista Music. Also returning to streaming services today is “Fearless,” Raye’s 2006 independent release, celebrated for its creative freedom and emotional range. On “Fearless,” Raye explored new musical textures and lyrical territory, reaffirming his place as an artist unafraid to evolve while staying true to his roots. Stream “Fearless” HERE.
Raye spent more than a year re-recording each of his beloved hits, ensuring every note felt both faithful and fresh. The result is a celebration of a career that includes 16 No. 1 hits, produced by Kelly Schoenfeld (Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks). “I’ve sung these songs for so many years. I’ve been able to get inside them in a deeper way than when we first recorded them,” says Raye. “I feel like I sing them far better now than when they were new to me.”
From timeless ballads and heartfelt love songs to uplifting anthems and upbeat favorites, “Twenty Five Years, Twenty Five Hits” captures the full emotional range of Raye’s career and stands as a reminder of why he remains one of country music’s most expressive and enduring voices.
Among the most personal tracks are “Undefeated” and “She’s With Me,” both inspired by Raye’s granddaughter Haley, who passed away at age nine. Written by Raye and his daughter Britanny Wray, “Undefeated” is a testament to resilience, love and family strength, themes that have long defined Raye’s songwriting. “Those songs mean everything to me,” Raye shares. “They’re part of my family’s story, and I’m grateful they continue to touch people in such a personal way.”
Together, these reissues give fans a rare opportunity to experience two pivotal chapters in Collin Raye’s artistry, one revisiting the classics that shaped his legacy and the other capturing the moment he fully stepped into his creative independence.
