Kenny Rogers - 50 Years CD
#400136
$11.99

Kenny Rogers has been an entertainment icon for so long that it's
almost easy to forget how he got there. Having recorded more
than 65 albums, which have sold over 100 million records,
Rogers celebrates his 50th anniversary in music as the #8
selling male artist of all time.
But beyond record sales and industry awards, Kenny is a sincere,
honest individual, unfazed by his own success and largely
unimpressed by his accomplishments. That's why we're so proud
to have him as a part of our musical family at Cracker Barrel Old
Country Store®.

His newest CD, 50 Years, is now exclusively available at all
Cracker Barrel locations and includes three new songs!
