Free Music Notes for 50 Number Ones

Free Music Review: Great collection of George's #1 hits
Hit: 5 Stars

Though I didn't become a George Strait fan until '93, I've admired George's music for a long time. George was a "hat act" when guys wearing hats, boots, and jeans weren't popular in country music, and George's music has never strayed very far from the traditional country sound he first made popular in the '80s. 50 Number Ones, which was just released, is a double-CD set of all of George's #1 country songs, starting with 1982's "Fool Hearted Memory", his first #1 hit, and ending with his #1 hit from last year, "She'll Leave You With A Smile". 50 Number Ones also includes George's new hit song "I Hate Everything", which just hit #1, becoming George's 51st country chart-topper.

George's #1 songs range from slow ballads(for instance, "The Chair", "A Fire I Can't Put Out", "Ocean Front Property", "Baby Blue", "If I Know Me", "I Cross My Heart", "You Can't Make A Heart Love Somebody", "The Man In Love With You", "Carried Away", "One Night At A Time", and "Run") to swinging honky-tonk numbers("Right Or Wrong", "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind", "All My Exes Live In Texas", "Am I Blue", "Ace In The Hole", "You Know Me Better Than That", "The Big One", and "Round About Way", for example) and upbeat dance tunes("Heartland", "Check Yes Or No", "Blue Clear Sky", "We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This", and "Write This Down"). The remarkable thing, in this fan's opinion, is that George has achieved his chart success without taking off his hat or trying to cross over onto the pop charts, even though some people urged him to do those things early on. Not only that, a lot of today's country music stars--among them Clint Black, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, and Tim McGraw--count George as one of their major influences, as noted in this record's liner notes.

This album isn't as comprehensive as George's four greatest-hits packages combined or his Strait Out Of The Box boxed set; a lot of George's best songs got left out because they didn't reach #1 on the country charts. Examples of George's hits that didn't top the charts and thus aren't on here include "Unwound", "Amarillo By Morning", "The Cowboy Rides Away", and "The Fireman", all excellent numbers. Furthermore, while George's chart-toppers sound great, a lot of the songs on this record(especially the earlier ones) have been shortened so that all of them will fit on two CDs. In my opinion George Strait purists won't be pleased to hear truncated versions of classic hits. However, what you'll get on 50 Number Ones is a great collection of George's #1 hits. As shown here, George has racked up an impressive string of hits in the 20-plus years he's been making records--and, by staying true to his roots, he still remains popular.

When George Strait's "She'll Leave You With a Smile" moved to the top of the country charts in early 2003, the handsome Lone Star crooner bested Conway Twitty for the most No. 1 singles by a solo artist. This collection of 50 chart-toppers, spanning 22 years, showcases the Cadillac of country singers at his best, blending traditional and contemporary stylings, but never straying too far from the core of his Texas barroom sound. "Fool Hearted Memory," from 1982, proves that Strait had his uncluttered production and straightforward vocal approach down from the start, no matter how many producers guided him to his peak. Through the years, the path to superstardom dictated that he trade the crisp Western swing of "Right or Wrong" and "Ace in the Hole" for squishy, mid-tempo crowd pleasers like "Check Yes or No" and "Write This Down." But he redeemed himself with such poignant heartbreakers as "So Much Like My Dad" and "?Smile." This retrospective's one new track, "I Hate Everything," about a man in a bar who's besotted more from pain than whiskey, doesn't match up with the singer's best material, but it's still got that irresistible Strait hook: average-guy sincerity wrapped in a down-to-earth heart. --Alanna Nash
