# The Very Best of Lee Kernaghan: Three Decades of Hits

The Very Best of Lee Kernaghan: Three Decades of Hits is the third greatest hits album by Australian country musician Lee Kernaghan. The 3 disc, 62-track album, released on 14 January 2022 peaked at number 17 on the ARIA chart.

## Background and release

In choosing the songs for the collection, Kernaghan listened to everything he had recorded saying "I had a top list of about 150 songs but I had to get it down to 60." Upon release, Kernaghan said "The 30th Anniversary of The Outback Club; It's been an amazing ride, 3 decades of music making, song writing, recording and singing songs about the people and the country that I love. This special 3-disc set has been specially compiled to take you on a musical journey through the hits and musical highlights of my career. Disc 1 features the very best of the 90s – from The Outback Club all the way through to the Hat Town album. Everything we recorded back then was on two-inch multitrack tape that gave the songs a special warmth and fidelity that you only ever hear on analogue recordings. Disc 2 will transport you to the second decade of my career, the Electric Rodeo years and some of the best recordings from that era. Disc 3 takes you from Planet Country to the best of Backroad Nation."
The album was announced on 14 December 2021 and available for pre-order the same day.
