NEW YORK, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Columbia Records says it plans to release "Let It Be Me: Mathis in Nashville," the new pop country album from Johnny Mathis, next month.

The CD is set to drop Sept. 21.

"For his first full album inspired by the world of country music, Mathis, whose knowledge and love of music crosses all genres, handpicked the songs for 'Let It Be Me: Mathis in Nashville,' songs that moved him personally and came alive under the Mathis touch," the record label said in a release Friday.

The album includes the songs "What a Wonderful World" featuring Lane Brody; "Let It Be Me" featuring Alison Krauss; "Make The World Go Away," "Crazy," "Southern Nights," "You Don't Know Me," "Lovin' Arms," "Shenandoah," "We Must Be Lovin' Right," "I Can't Stop Lovin' You," "Love Me Tender," "Please Help Me I'm Falling" and "What a Wonderful World (Christmas version)" featuring Brody.

Signed to Columbia Records in the mid-1950s, Mathis is the longest-running artist on the label, with 17 million RIAA certified album and singles sales in the United States.
