George Strait, Alan Jackson, Jimmy Buffett - Live at Texas Stadium

MCA Nashville

The Bottom Line

George Strait is joined by Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson on this CD that was recorded live at Texas Stadium. The result is a fun CD of the three of them as they take turns singing their own hits as well as mixing it up on duets of one another's hits. As an example, you have Jimmy Buffett helping out George Strait on the hit "All My Ex's Live In Texas." George Strait and Alan Jackson singing the somewhat controversial hit "Murder On Music Row." And of course, Jimmy Buffett does his signature hit song "Margaritaville."

Guide Review - George Strait, Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson - Live At Texas Stadium

So, you take two country music legends like George Strait and Alan Jackson and you team them up with a music legend like Jimmy Buffett, and you put them in Texas Stadium, and the result is a CD that's filled with great live country music!

The CD starts off with George Strait singing his hit song "Honk If You Honky Tonk." The sound quality of the CD is fantastic! You feel like you have a seat right there onstage with the band. The down side is that the audience sounds too far away. The energy of a concert CD is in part carried by the audience participation.

The concert continues as George welcomes Alan Jackson to the stage to duet with him on the hit "Murder On Music Row." And of course you have Alan Jackson teaming up with Jimmy Buffett on their hugely successful hit "Five O'Clock Somewhere." And speaking of Jimmy Buffett, he's joined by George Strait and Alan Jackson as they performs his 1977 signature song "Margaritaville." Then Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson join forces as they perform the old Guy Clark tune "Boats To Build." Alan Jackson does a fabulous bluegrass rendition of the 1981 Eagles hit "Seven Bridges Road."

Other songs on this live CD are, George Strait "Milk Cow Blues," George Strait and Jimmy Buffett "All My Ex's Live In Texas," and George Strait, Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett "Hey Good Lookin'." The CD closes with Alan Jackson performing his hit single "Where I Come From."
