Deluxe Anniversary Album to Include Unreleased Studio Tracks, Live Performances & Acoustic Recordings
from Bowen’s Career-Defining Record
Today, Texas country singer-songwriter Wade Bowen announced the Lost Hotel 20th Anniversary Edition album, to be released Friday, November 20th. To commemorate the milestone, Bowen is opening the vault to include nine unreleased studio tracks, acoustic recordings, live performances, and a radio archive on the 30-track deluxe anniversary album.
The physical collection will include the first-ever vinyl release of Bowen’s career defining record with a remastered tracklisting and unreleased studio tracks, a double CD with the expanded 30-tracks, and a commemorative Collector’s Box that will feature a signed gold 2LP vinyl and exclusive keepsakes.
The Lost Hotel 20th Anniversary Collection is now available for pre-order HERE.
Lost Hotel was an important turning point in Bowen’s career as it strengthened his reputation as a songwriter and laid the groundwork for his success as a Red Dirt musician, with fan-favourite hits such as “God Bless This Town” and “Mood Ring.” Recorded between 2003- 2006, the album came at a time when Bowen was trying to launch his solo career. After saving up enough money over the course of three years to finish the recording process, a collection of tracks emerged that gave a vulnerable and honest look at Wade’s life, which became the blueprint for his songwriting style from then on.
With the release of the Lost Hotel 20th Anniversary Edition album, fans will be transported back to Bowen’s season of discovery through vocals that were left untouched.
To help bring this milestone to life, the singer-songwriter is also releasing a special video featuring snapshots from the past two decades of his career.

Bowen is currently on the road in the US in support of his recently released 11th studio album, The Version Of Me You Get, which features his 37th Texas radio #1, “Rain.” In February, he will return to the West Coast for his Way Out West Tour, travelling across California and Arizona.
