Country icon Terri Clark releases her highly anticipated duets album, Terri Clark: Take Two, teaming up with today's biggest names including Lauren Alaina, Paul Brandt, Kelly Clarkson, Cody Johnson, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, Ben Rector and Lainey Wilson. Released via Mercury Nashville/UMe, the eight-song collection and Clark's Greatest Hits vinyl are both available everywhere today.   “These songs very literally changed my life,” shares Clark. “To now have the chance to say thank you by giving them a new life with some of the hottest artists in music has been one of the most soul-fulfilling experiences of my career. We began working on these duet versions over a year ago, and the time has come when I finally get to share them with all of you.”   LISTEN: TERRI CLARK: TAKE TWO   Revisiting the tracks that all reached Top 10 status on the Country charts at the time of their release, today's delivery serves as a thank you to the career-defining hits by breathing new life into them. Clark continues to check off milestones this year as she celebrates not only the 20th anniversary of her iconic Greatest Hits album, but also her 20th anniversary as a Grand Ole Opry member this June. As the only female Canadian member of the famed institution, Clark will step into the circle on Friday, June 7 alongside Wynonna Judd, Meg McRee, fellow Opry members Jeannie Seely, Mark Wills, Opry inductee Lainey Wilson and more, for a special night of celebration following the duets album release.   “The overwhelming feelings of nostalgia this project has brought up for me all came while standing beside some of the greatest acts in the business,” adds Clark. “Hearing them sing these songs that I've been singing night after night for so many years has been inspiring, humbling and surreal. The bonuses were the conversations in between recordings and getting to hear them tell me they grew up listening to my music with posters of me on their walls. They knew my songs even better than I did....it was a full-circle moment I'll never forget.” The Country legend extends the celebration on the road as she prepares for her first-ever headlining show at the Ryman Auditorium on August 29. As the Canadian Music Hall of Famer gears up for a monumental year, keep up with Clark and her upcoming announcements at terriclark.com and on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and TikTok.
