10. The Fireman

“George Strait emerged on the scene when many in Country Music were recording songs to appeal to a broader fan base. While others where trying to land hits on the Country and Pop charts, George remained true to Country and is probably the greatest factor in why the genre hasn’t disappeared altogether.”

9. Honky Tonk Saturday Night

“A masterpeice from King George. It is hard to find fault with most of what GS has recorded over his career. He has remained fiercely traditional in his choice of material and from the start he had a style and sound, that was both classical and modern, and that has remained unchanged over the years.’

8. What Did You Expect Me to Do

“Strait’s music is rarely extravagant or overblown. Producer Jimmy Bowen deserves the credit for keeping things subtle so that the listener is not overwhelmed by a blast of fiddle or steel guitar at inopportune moments. The only complaint I have is that the drums are mixed up, which gives some of the numbers a pop, rather than country, feel to them.”

7. You’re Dancin’ This Dance All Wrong

“The standout track on this album is the ballad “You’re Dancin’ This Dance All Wrong,” my favorite GS song other than “The Chair.” It’s a bittersweet love ballad, celebrating a new love and looking back on an old one. Any other singer would have either slaughtered this song or turned it into a gaudy showcase for his voice, but GS’s (as always) low-key, human delivery makes this song perfect”

6. The Cowboy Rides Away

“Overall, this album is typical of George’s early albums with its mix of ballads and western swing-influenced up-tempo songs. Instrumentation consists of steel, electric and acoustic guitars together with fiddle, mandolin, keyboards, bass and drums.”

5. I Need Someone Like Me

“I totally love this CD. It is one of his absolute best. Any fan of George strait can appreciate the early years. The music itself is impeccable and so is that voice! I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan. And even if they are not!”

4. Love Comes From the Other Side of Town

“Love Comes from the Other Side of Town” juxtaposes a light-hearted melody and arrangement with a pretty serious subject, cheating. Kind of like the country version of a punk rock idea, I guess. Regardless, it’s too catchy to ignore.”

3. Any Old Time

“This album is really best listened to in one sitting. And at under thirty minutes, that’s not much of a problem. I give it my highest recommendation. Without George Strait, we wouldn’t have Country Music today (more younger artists to emulate him).”

2. I Should Have Watched That First Step

“There are a few artists I could listen to over and over without ever getting tired, and there are a few artists that I buy duplicates of my favorite cd’s so I can have one in the house and in each of my vehicles; and this guy is one of them.”

1. Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind

“The title track is one of George’s most famous songs but, perhaps surprisingly, is the only number one country hit from this chart (based on Billboard). The two other singles (The cowboy rides away, The fireman) both made the top five in the country charts.”
