Reviews

On the best songs, the lean approach leads to elegance, to delivering many feelings and stories with a small number of words. [4 September 2009]

Massive in his hit-making legacy, yet enigmatic for his seeming ordinaryness, George Strait returns with his 37th album in 27 years. [23 April 2008]

Every track here showcases Strait’s smooth style and the ability to make the life of a Texas cowboy into something sexy. [11 December 2007]

There are great joys to be had in George Strait's phrasing, diction and emotional interpretation. And then there's the music. [7 November 2006]
