George Strait

I just love the "One Click" option. That's how I buy most of my purchases. This one came just as noted! Love George and this is a great CD!

Awesome!! I would highly recommend this CD set to any George Strait fan....but you probably already own it!

This double Cd is the greatest. From tract 1 all the way to the last tract on cd 2 I just loved it. I have many cds of George Strait but this has this 50 #1 hits and I have enjoyed it every day since I recived it. I play many games on Pogo and [...] and turn their sounds off and play George Strait. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

George Strait is the undisputed King of country music for the past 3 decades (sorry Garth, his longevity has bested you), and this double CD effort is a collection of all of his chart toppers. What really more needs to be said? While I have just begun to rate all of the albums I own here on Amazon, this is the first one I have given 5 stars. Listening to this album in order is like taking a trip through the 80's and 90's in a time machine. Many of these songs are so iconic they have become a part of people's memories. Listening to all of this great music also makes me realize that George Strait has accomplished all of his success without sacrificing anything. His music is remarkably unchanged from 1981 to today. If you don't own this album, you should. Whether you are a hard core country music lover or just want to own the best music that country has to offer to add to your collection.

This is one of the best disks I have heard George Strait has a great voice you can not be disappointed

This man never dissapoints! I remember listening to his music when I was just a little girl. I still love his music. George is a valuable asset to country music.

90% of the songs on this CD are fantastic. Love this CD! Tells stories in every line.

This new album is not only a credit to George Strait's phenomenal career, but it attests to his ability to keep putting out some of the best country music ever. After all these decades, George is still the king. Only Johnny Cash is above George. However, Johnny is gone now and we have to look to George to keep country music as true country. Yes, at one time for many years, Johnny Cash was the king. Now we have a new king and that's George.

I miss John, but the legend has to go on and George can do that. He always has and will always do so.

True country? Just look to George Strait for that.

George Strait continues to create enjoyalbe country music. He is a true troubador in making the transition from the late-80s to current, grammy winning country music.

This CD is typical George Strait, every song is quality. I love the "House of Cash" song all about Johnny Cash's old house. All I can say is if you are a Strait fan then you will love this

I recently bought this as well as some others and the music is great, lots of his #1 hits. I do karaoke I am the host and I not only like being able to do these songs that I have heard, but also to see how close the karaoke disk was to the original. It was very close to the original tracks. Great Material

I am not much of a country musis fan, but there are exceptions and this is one of them. George Stait always brings some pleasure to your music collections.

Great CD, lots of great ones, the good ones you don't hear anymore. Any Strait fan would like this CD.

I have all of George Strait's cds and this is a must have for any fan.

when I purchased George Strait's 50 Greatest Hits I had the option to get this one of 22 more hits. Great music. It's amazing how many great hits George has when you begin to count them.

If you like Seorge Strait, this one's for you. This CD is loaded with great songs, the first "Throw It Away" you sing along with it, the last one "Come On Joe" is sad, but catchy, like Vern Gosdin's "Chiseled In Stone" and you might find youself singing along with it, too. It's just a great CD.

A very talented singer, but why not chose some upbeat songs. My woman left me and I am heartbroken gets a little tiresome after 13 songs.

Its great to see George singing number 1 hits after number one hits and some of his most recent number one hits are on this cd. I really enjoyed this cd. It proved that George still has what it takes to be on top once again and there will be nobody who will ever come close to what George has accomplished in his 20+ year career. My favs on this CD are Give it Away, It Just Comes Natural, Texas Cookin, & How Bout Them Cowgirls. I'm not saying they are the only good songs on there, they are the songs I enjoy listening the most. They all are great.

I love George Strait, he is truly an icon in country music and there will never be another like him. I recommend on picking this cd up sometime. Pretty darn good songs to enjoy.

As this was my first George Strait purchase, it will certainly not be my last. The disc is recorded very well. One of the best recordings I have ever heard. With 15 tracks, there is plenty to listen to. My kind of woman is the best one on the album. Overall, this album is better than Troubadour.

This is a fantastic album. I thoroughly enjoyed every song on this record. I enjoyed it so much I bought the 50 greatest hits album which disapointed me a bit.

Overall this is a terrific album though and there are so many solid songs that you can enjoy over and over.

this collection has so many hits. then it has songs from his early days (pre MCA) which are great. the only short fall is it came out in 1995. but i bought this because of someone review of the "50 number ones" CD that they have out. it said they trimmed the songs to fit on the discs.
if you are a George Strait Fan buy this! you won't be disappointed

GEORGE STRAIT IS MY FAVORITE COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST! LOVE HIS MUSIC! THIS IS A DEFINITELY A MUST BY! I PURCHASED THIS ALBUM!

My items were shipped to me in a timely manner. Everything was in good condition.

I LOVED THIS PRODUCT. IT ARRIVED IN PERFECT SHAPE BRAND NEWAND WE LOVE GEORGE STRAIT SO IT IS LISTENED TO ALL THE TIME AT OUR HOUSE.

Some of the best songs to be performed by a legend. If you enjoy George Strait this is a must have CD collection. If you enjoy country music this is a must have collection. You can leave these CD's on play and not have to skip around because there are so many wonderful songs.

Not a lot to say, only if i am feeling blue, I play this album and it does wonders.
I would love to hear this as a SACD or DVD-Audio.

There's not much I can add to the other 5-star reviews. These 3 guys clearly had one fine time doing this concert and it comes across in spades. The music constantly puts a smile on my face, and I'm sure that anyone who likes any of these 3 great stars will feel the same way. Highly recommended!

I've been a fan of Jimmy Buffett most of my life, and George Strait for about the same, and grew to like Alan after Five O'clock.

This is a great CD if you enjoy these musicians. "Murder On Music Row" is a good old fashioned sounding country song and makes references I don't get to the business, but I understand the context.

"All My Ex's Live In Texas"...ah yes. Great song, and more fun with Buffett adding some spice to it. Great version.

"Sea Of Heartbreak" An undiscovered classic from Buffett. He knows its a good song, I know it is, and you will when you hear it.

"Margaritaville", "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere"....these had to be on there, and It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere is better live like this. Actually its better if you're in the arena...

A lot of good music, the show is very energetic and the songs fit together well. I highly recommend this disc.

What can I say about Alan Jackson that hasn't already been said. He is a great performer.

Cowboys in the Jungle. Now I know what Jimmy meant. I am a long time Parrothead so it was natural for me to pick up this CD. Really do enjoy the music - just a fun CD. I recommend it!

I am a rap fan, and I listen to very little country. I heard some of his older songs, and I decided to buy this CD. It exceeded my expectations and I will buy more of his music in the future.

1- If The Whole World Was A Honkytonk- Excellent beat and lyrics {5/5}
2- Somewhere Down In Texas- Good Song, But Gets Old After A While {4/5}
3- Seashores Of Old Mexico- Good Story, And Beat Never Gets Old {5/5}
4- You'll Be There- Bad Lyrics, Too Slow, Bad Song {1/5}
5- High Tone Woman- Good Fast Song, But Gets Old Very Fast {3/5}
6- Good News, Bad News- Average Song, Didn't Really Like It {2/5}
7- Oh, What A Perfect Day- Another Average Song, But Still Ok {3/5}
8- Texas- Good Song About Texas, I Love This Song {5/5}
9- Ready For The End Of The World- Bad Beat, Good Lyrics {3/5}
10- She Let Herself Go- BEST SONG, Great Beat And Lyrics {10/5}
11- By The Light Of A Burning Bridge- Average Song {4/5}

It is a good album. Could be better, but over half of the album is good. This is also real country. Modern country {Keith, McGraw} make good music, but it sounds too much like rock. This sounds like old country. Definently get tracks 1,2,3,8, and 10.

I've been a George Strait fan for years and years - he just gets better with age.

Hey you guys, how is it goin'?!

I'd like tellin' ya that I'm really happy with this cd from George.

Incredibles songs!!!! I don't know how he gets, but he gets better each new cd!!

Other thing: I'd like to thank Amazon for the excelent service!!

See ya!!

George Strait is still the man to go to when you want to hear great country music. this CD did not disapoint me in any way. Great music to dance the night away.

What else can be said about George Strait. He just continues to turn the best music.

Every song on this best of George Strait is a great, it includes classics like Amarillo by Morning, A fire I can't put out, and a wonderful love song Marina del Rey. The second best of is good but this my favorite

George Strait is one of those artists that can never have enough hits collections. As long as he is selling records and topping the charts, hits collections will just keep on coming.

And, Strait's original, the 1985 'Greatest Hits' release spanning George's first three records is essential. Yes, it's really skimpy, and it's only 10 songs long, but so what? It's still really definitve, and it gives the casual fan who wants nothing but classic George what they are looking for.

I'd recommend this over '50 Number Ones,' which features really bad single edits so 51 songs could fit on two CDs. But these are the full length album versions, digitally remastered to sound great. MCA gets extra pointers for remastering this.

I also like the song choice here. 'You Look So Good In Love,' 'Right Or Wrong,' 'A Fire I Can't Put Out,' 'Unwound,' and 'Marina Del Rey' all appear on this set, which are some of his finer songs.

Highly recommended for any George Strait fan. A great CD to own. ENJOY!!!

As a new George Strait fan, I like this one almost as much as Greatest Hits Vol. 2. And better than his newer recordings.

very good basic greatest hits if you just want to have the songs in one place. it is still missing a lot but this came out awhile ago. all in all I am happy with it.
the one thing about George Strait You no what your gettin and its always good music.

This is a good album for anyone who is a George
Strait fan.

Strait's cover of Terry Stafford's 1973 hit,
"Amarillo By Morning" is the centerpiece of the
album, and deserves a little attention.

While Strait's version of this song is probably the
most similar to Stafford's original performance,
with all the improvements in instrumentation,
it still lacks something of the spirit of the original.
Maybe it's the different style of backing vocals.
Still a decent cover, and since Stafford's version
isn't likely to become available on CD any time soon,
it's probably as good as we're gonna get.

George Strait has more number ones than any other country music artist. He's also got another one now with 'I Saw God Today' and had one in early 2007 with 'How 'Bout Them Cowgirls.' His number one hits status means he has a lot of compilations on the market.

Although I really enjoy his installment in UMG's '20th Century Masters,' it can't match this set. This features my 10 favorite Strait songs, including 'The Fireman,' 'The Chair,' 'Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind' and of course the country music anthem 'All My Ex's Live In Texas.'

Overall, if you are a casual fan or a new George Strait fan, you'll get your money's worth with this classic. Highly recommended. ENJOY!!!

This album is one of the greatest from George Strait,
It has alot of his older hits.
"IT AIN'T COOL TO BE CRAZY ABOUT YOU" A good song but
it has to many memories attached to it.
Personally to me the whole album is good,
but it's more of a tear in your beer album.
People can say what they want about the newer
country music, but people like George, Hank JR, and
Willie Nelson are who made country music what is today.
I rate this CD a 10 from 1to10!!

George Strait - Greatest Hits, vol. 2 is country music at it's best. Any cd from George is amazing, but with hits like: "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind", "The Chair", and "Ocean Front Property" this cd is sure to please any George Strait fan. It is a must have for your collection.

With "50 Number Ones" out for sale, it's hard to argue a better economical and jam-packed value, but there's no disputing the best 10-song collection belongs to Greatest Hits Vol. 2. George remains the most consistent country artist within the last 40 yrs (I would argue the most consistent in COUNTRY MUSIC HISTORY), and the proof lies in GH Vol 2. For those who remember cassettes (much less 8-tracks, a couple of George's I own), nothing quenched the thirst of country traditionalists in the 1980's like this album. My father and I took many a road trip from Texas to Montana (a one-way 3-day trip) to the tune of GH Vol 2. Absolutely, positively, the soundtrack of my life.

As far as I'm concerned, he is the BEST. I have all his cassetts and C.D.s so wherever I am I can hear him sing. George has stayed true to the REAL COUNTRY music. Not only is he a great singer but he is a wonderful human being and true to himself.

George Strait has had so many number one hits it's kind of hard to count. He had 50 a couple of years ago, but he's had so many since than, I honestly don't know.

This set documents most of his best work of the 1990s, and includes two mighty fine new recordings, 'The Best Day' and the duet with country music legend Alan Jackson, 'Murder On Music Row.' You also get some of his finest songs of the 1990s as a country chart topper, including 'Lead On' and 'Carrying Your Love With Me.'

And, MCA did a great job remastering the songs too. The sound quality is excellent!

Overall, this is a great set to own. And if you own 'Greatest Hits Vol. 2' and/or 'Greatest Hits,' pair it with this, and you have a mighty fine George collection.

Highly recommended for the new or casual Strait fan. You'll get your money's worth with this set. Very entertaining. ENJOY!!!

George Strait is a legend. This cd is amazing. If your a fan, buy it today!!!

The album picks up George's career where the boxed set (Strait out of the box) ends, so it covers the period from 1994 to 1998. It shows that George's style was evolving but still firmly rooted in traditional country music.

The album opens with two songs specially recorded for the album, the first (The best day) being an excellent ballad. The second song (Murder on music row) was first written and recorded by Larry Cordle, a bluegrass performer. Here, George sings it as a duet with Alan Jackson. George rarely sings duets but although there is no obvious reason for this particular song to be a duet, George and Alan clearly enjoyed recording this song. While both George and Alan have made some concessions to the requirements of the contemporary market place, they have both managed to be hugely successful with music that is much closer to traditional country music than most of the music recorded in Nashville these days.

The remaining tracks are taken from just four albums, these being Lead on (Adalida, Lead on, You can't make a heart love somebody), Blue clear sky (the title track, Carried away, I can still make it to Cheyenne, King of the mountain), Carrying your love with me (the title track, Round about way, One night at a time, Today my word slipped away) and One step at a time (True, We really shouldn't be doing this). Of these songs, Today my world slipped away is a cover of a Vern Gosdin country hit but the others (as far as I know) are original songs.

Picking out highlights in such a strong collection is difficult, but I'll nominate Murder on Music Row, Adalida, Blue clear sky and King of the mountain. If you are new to George's music, this compilation makes a great introduction.

I am a huge country music fan and this is one of five CDs I would choose to have with me if I were stranded on a desert isle. I loved this CD. It has all of George Strait's most recent hits as well as two new songs - 'The Best Day', which is another in a string of fantastic father-son songs that Strait has done (starting with Love without End, Amen). The second new song is Murder on Music Row with Alan Jackson. It took me some time to warm up to this one, and its a strident defense against New Country.

So it should come as no surprise that the rest of the CD is all done in an old country style. My personal favorite is I Can Still Make Cheyenne, which is one of the best (and most depressing) songs I've ever heard. This CD does not contain any of the really classic Strait stuff like All My Exes Live in Texas, and anyone who is interested in Strait should really start with his true golden age. But if you have any tolerance at all for steel guitars and songs about people cheating, drinking, and dying, then you will love this CD.

when i firt heard this song i really liked it .he'z cute too.xo
