Sure, all the news in country music has been focused on Garth Brooks unveiling a new music download service and the "stupid" price at which you'll soon be able to download his entire discography ($29.99). But another country music icon will soon find a large chunk of his discography available for purchase as part of a special set: Ronnie Milsap.
Legacy Recordings will release the entirety of Milsap's recordings with RCA as one 21-disc set consisting of course of 21 individual albums. It's a huge set for country music fans as every single Millsap released between 1973 and 1992, his first 19 years with RCA, ended up going to the country music Top 15 and only two failed to crack the Top 10. Sixteen of the records included also placed in the Top 10 for country music albums as well.
Back to the Grindstone was Millsap's last release with RCA during the '90s, dropping in 1991, but he made a return 15 years later for 2006's My Life, which will be the last album featured in the set.
"The idea that all the music I made for RCA will be available in one place thrills me," Milsap said in a statement. "It is my life's work. These songs, and the records I made are a big piece of who I am-and the people who loved them. I feel honored to know The RCA Collection is coming."
It won't be the only milestone for Millsap this year. Earlier during 2014 it was announced that he would be receiving the Career Achievement Award at next week's Academy of Country Music Awards in Nashville.
