| Guide Picks - Top 3 George Strait | |||||
| George Strait has been recording since 1981, and came at a time when country music was in one of its periodic downturns which critics blamed on the watered-down crossover-type of pop-country material. George's music reminded country fans of the music's roots, and contributed to the expansion of interest in new artists once more. | |||||
1.) The Road Less Traveled - George Strait
This is George Strait's 28th release, and it makes use of computerized programming to change George's voice on a few of the tracks. With the studio gimmickry out of the way, George, and producer Tony Brown, get down to business with the great Merle Haggard song "My Life's Been Grand. Other standout tracks include the bar room fun of "Good Time Charley's," "The Real Thing" and "She'll Leave You With A Smile."
