John Schneider released his new album, Made in America, on July 4. The actor, filmmaker, and country music chart-topper specifically chose Independence Day for the release of his new collection of patriotic country anthems, which includes the debut single, "She's Worth It." 
 
Following his unmasking on the hit FOX series The Masked Singer in December, Schneider got to work on the album in Nashville. Schneider wrote or co-wrote seven of the eight originals for the album. Larry Hall, the composer for Schneider's recent film, To Die For, composed the background music for "The Hyphen" and "You Ask Me Why"--original poems written by James Mitchum.
 
"The number one reason I made this album is to exercise my First Amendment right of freedom of speech," says Schneider. "After a few years of hearing people gripe and complain about living in this great country of ours, I decided the best way to educate is through music. There are songs here that will make you tap your foot. Songs that will make you laugh. Songs that will make you proud. And most importantly, songs that will make you think. Made in America is not only a celebration of American thought it's also a challenge for people to think things through. I hope you enjoy it and that you will share it with the patriots and naysayers in your life."
 
Schneider celebrated Independence Day with fans at a sold-out event at the Historic Select Theater in Mineola, Texas, where he hosted a screening of his patriotic film, To Die For, and performed a live concert filled with new music from the new album, as well as his biggest hits. Schneider wrote, directed, and stars in To Die For, which takes a stand for patriotism and the American flag. The powerful and gripping drama takes on the feel of a Clint Eastwood film, with Schneider front and center for one of the most impassioned performances of his career. NEWSMAX called the movie "the most patriotic film of 2022."
