In 2019, George Strait released his thirtieth studio album Honky Tonk Time Machine – which features thirteen songs, including twelve originals written by Strait himself along with legendary songwriter Dean Dillon, Lori McKenna, and none other than his son, Bubba Strait. Lastly, there’s also Strait’s rendition of Johnny Paycheck’s “Old Violin.”

It also featured a very special guest, his grandson Harvey. The song ranked No. 20 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart while peaking at No. 17 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.
