A multi-award winning legend of country music, "
King George" has more or less been the face of country music over the last 20 years.
With over 50 songs going #1, 62 million recordings sold, and 16
CMA Awards,
the Texan was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006.
While country was
turing pop in the 80s and 90s, with artists such as Garth Brooks dominating the scene, George Strait always managed to keep it old school and stayed true to his country roots. And he keeps putting out good stuff to this day! He just put out "It Just Comes Natural" and it kicks ass...can this man do any wrong?
My all-time favorite George Strait song is "
Amarillo by Morning", hand down. It's not on his 50 Number Ones double CD, which is a
damn shame.
God Bless
King George, what else is there to say?
