Planet Country is the lead single and title track from Lee Kernaghan's highly anticipated new album, which is released on November 6, 2009. The track was written by Kernaghan, and song writing partners Garth Porter, Colin Buchanan and Matt Scullion.

Planet Country is Kernaghan's first career album release since 2006s The New Bush. 2 years in the making, Planet Country features the world's finest country musicians with recording sessions taking place in Sydney and Nashville. Lee has delivered an album that is contemporary and totally tapped in to the pulse of Australian culture and way of life.

"I'll always remember playing a fundraising concert in the backblocks of Western Queensland. The little place was Yaraka and there wasn't much there but a pub, a school and the bush medical clinic but for the 30 odd people living in Yaraka this place was home. The then Premier of Queensland Peter Beattie and his wife Heather flew out for the show along with 3000 people from all over the outback who came in from parts further out to help raise funds for the school and bush medical clinic. After the show we all went back to the old pub and were invited to write a message on the wall. Peter Beattie wrote, "Yaraka QLD - Centre of the Universe!" Years later I recalled that legendary town, the people and the spirit. Planet Country is for you & all those people across Australia who are livin', breathin' and workin' this hallowed ground", says Kernaghan.
