In 2008, Rhino Records issued a compilation album entitled "The Very Best of Neal McCoy". This album reprised most of his biggest chart hits to that point, and it included the new recording "Rednecktified", which was released as a single but did not chart. Later that same year, he issued another single, "For the Troops", which also failed to chart. McCoy released a book titled "New Mountain to Climb" in 2011, which coincided with the release of a single of the same name.
