Guide Review - George Strait - 50 Number Ones
“50 Number Ones” is also impressive for the mere fact that the songs presented on the CD from the great timelessness of “Ocean Front Property” to the modern hit “Run” to the neo classic (and lone new recording) “I Hate Everything.” There are simply too many great songs to list the best of them. It’s a bit like “quoting” from the best chapters of a great novel or dissecting the a few scenes from a classic movie, it doesn’t do the collection justice to outline only a bit of a project as strong as this one. If ever there was a “no brainer” for a fan to spend their hard earned cash on, it’d be this one.
Still, there will be some rabid fans who will say “I have everything by Strait, why do I need this?” I say that for the liner notes, from Michael McCall’s synopsis of the history of Strait to the release dates listed under each track to George’s touching letter to family, friends and fans. This 2-CD set is the perfect road trip companion and one every country fan should own.
