New Joey + Rory "Best Of" Song Collection, DVD 'The Singer And The Song' On Sept. 21
Acclaimed husband-and-wife country duo Joey + Rory on Friday announced the new collection, The Singer And The Song: The Best Of Joey+Rory, releasing on Sept. 21. The album features 20 of Joey + Rory's most-requested hits, as well as never-before-released content and offers a closer look into the Grammy-winning duo's history and the music that defined their career.
The "Best Of" collection includes a CD with the duo's hits, while a DVD features interviews with Rory and more on the couple's love story and life together.
"The songs that appear on this 'Best Of' record are not our greatest hits," Rory says in the CD booklet. "Instead, they are the songs that brought out the best in us. These, along with many others."
"Each time we went into the recording studio, we tried our best to choose the best songs we could for where we were in our lives," he continues. "Sometimes they were songs that we had written, a good bit more of the time they were songs from friends, strangers, and now and then heroes of ours."
Rory has found a new normal over the past few years, parenting his daughter Indiana, authoring two bestselling books, managing his farm, and singing for the first time since the passing of his wife, Joey, in 2016. The couple captured the hearts of millions as Rory chronicled their love story and Joey's cancer battle on his blog, as well as their preparation for her passing in March, 2016.
However, Rory says there is more to the story. Having met in the early 2000s when Joey was still an aspiring country singer, they eventually fell in love, married and recorded Joey's debut album, If Not For You, which was re-released in 2017. After garnering attention as finalists on CMT's "Can You Duet" in 2008, Joey + Rory went on to release eight albums, winning a Grammy Award for Best Roots Gospel Album for Hymns in 2017.
"I know how amazing this life that God has given us is, even though it's taken some tragic turns," Feek says in the DVD. "I mostly walk around pinching myself. That's saying a lot, but it's because I didn't do it. She didn't do it. He did it. And as much as there have been some very, very hard times the joy-filled times outweigh them. You carry them around with you, and for some reason they put some perspective to the pain, and it helps."
The Singer And The Song: The Best Of Joey+Rory is available for pre-order and pre-save everywhere now, including iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon.com, CBD.com, and Gaither.com.
