Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a George fan for years... seen him for years in Okie city when he used to play here every year for Halloween.
George represents years of tradition for me. He is what brought me over to country music... I had yet to discover Willie... Toby... Clint... Waylon... et all...
He is like bisquits and gravy, traditional.
But this album knocked me smooth out of my traditional boots.
George is consistent... has been for years.
But this album is better than just consistent.
Its fabulous.
If the whole world was a honky tonk... okay. Tell me a story bout that. Love. Love. Love.
Somewhere down in Texas. This is a legacy song. Beautiful voice. I can already see him in concert, standing behind that microphone and letting that guitar swing.
George's contribution to the lastest country wave....Seashores of Mexico. Great story... love the gringo. Fast pace. Fun! Kick um up!
You'll be there... ough! agh! Just like watching fireworks in the midnight sky.
Many, many wonderful songs... he's really singing again. And not that there is anything wrong with what George has been giving us for years.. but this album reeks of Marina Del Ray years.
She let herself go.... My favorite. Good passion, great tones.
George. Thanks for never selling out. Still wearing the high waisted wranglers and the really starched shirt and doing it better than anyone ever dreamed... I do declare!
Somewhere Down in Texas Poster
(B000444602)Country's most reluctant superstar can always lend gravity to even the weakest of songs, so masterful is his phrasing and restrained, expressive delivery, and so artful his picking and the production that surrounds his Everyman baritone. On Somewhere Down in Texas, many of George Strait's songs are semiautobiographical and ring with authenticity. The title track portrays a man who's weary of the road and yearns to stay home with his family; "Texas" salutes the state that made him what he is; and "You'll Be There," the heartfelt single that talks of meeting a loved one in the afterlife, likely hits a nerve with the singer, who lost a child some years ago. Strait also does well with the terrible twins of country dance-hall fare, misery and grief--particularly on the honky-tonk weeper "Ready for the End of the World" and the killer ballad "Good News, Bad News," a duet with Lee Ann Womack, who cowrote the tune with Dean Dillon and Dale Dodson. Womack sings rings around her fellow Texan, giving her reading of this exquisite song of heartbreak an emotional resonance that sticks in the mind long after it's over. But Strait conveys a stoic acceptance of a tragically missed chance at love, and it plays just right for a cowboy antihero. Somewhere Down in Texas could have benefited from the addition of an irresistible rhythm tune or another example of the western swing that Strait embraced so fervently early in his career. But every time ol' George refers to his heroes by name--Haggard, Nelson, and Jones--you know time will show him to be, if not precisely in their league, certainly a close second. --Alanna Nash Recommended George Strait
