Craig Morgan has a thing for chicken and dumplings, and he combines two of his favorite things — comfort food and country music — with the release of an expanded version of his current album. That’s Why: Collector’s Edition is available only through Cracker Barrel stores, beginning Monday.
The CD has already been upgraded once. He released it in 2008, then added “Bonfire” and “This Ain’t Nothin’” to 2009 editions of the disc. The album also features his hit “Love Remembers.”

Chris is currently celebrating his first No. 1 on the Billboard chart with “Gettin’ You Home (The Black Dress Song) while Craig’s “Bonfire” is close behind at No. 12. GAC host Nan Kelley will serve as guest emcee at each tour stop.
“This will be my sixth trip to entertain and visit with the men and women of the Armed Forces,” says Craig, who was the first artist to perform on a Stars For Stripes/AFE event in 2003. Continue Reading
