Ray Stevens is set to release his first album with the Gaither Gospel Series.

'Gospel Collection, Volume One' is scheduled for release on Aug. 19. Stevens produced the release, which covers a variety of popular hymns and gospel classics.

"This is my first Gospel album in years," Stevens says. "I'm really excited about it. I love the songs and worked long and hard on the arrangements, but the coup de gras is being presented as part of the Gaither Gospel Series. I hope everyone will enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it."

Stevens released his career memoir, 'Ray Stevens' Nashville,' earlier this summer, sharing stories from his many years in Music City.

'Gospel Collection, Volume 1' is available for pre-order on Gaither.com and on Amazon.
