STRAIT, GEORGE

George Strait, who came from a small South Western ranch town to become one of the biggest stars in popular music, has shattered several music-business records. He achieved an unprecedented 50 #1 country singles (his latest, She'll Leave You With A Smile just last December) and 26 platinum albums (including 1995's seven times platinum Strait Out of the Box and 1992's six times platinum Pure Country). George Strait is second only to Elvis Presley for #1 records by a male artist in any genre. With his new MCA Nashville album, Honkytonkville, his first studio album since 2001's Road Less Travelled, George Strait reunites with long time co-producer Tony Brown (working on his 12th George Strait record). The first track from the album is Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa. After more than 20 years and 30 plus albums, all for the only label he's ever called home, George Strait hasn't veered from the simple verities that make his sound timeless. For the new album, he has once more chosen songs by some of the top songwriters in Nashville, putting his distinctive mark on every one, making each his own. The variety of styles on Honkytonkville range from the classic country croon of She Used To Say That To Me to the plunked ivories and sawing fiddles of I Found Jesus on the Jailhouse Floor.
