George Strait - Somewhere Down in Texas

MCA Nashville

They call George Strait "The King" for good reason. He knows how to pick the right songs to sing, and he sings them perfectly. Perfectly enough that he spent three weeks at No. 1 in 2006 with two different songs. "She Let Herself Go" spent a single week at the top spot, and is from his album Somewhere Down in Texas, and "Give It Away" spent two weeks at the top, and is from the It Just Comes Natural CD.

Besides the song chart success, his album, It Just Comes Natural debuted at No. 1, and has sold over 1,000,000 copies, earning George another Platinum album. George Strait is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, as of 2006. The actual induction ceremony will take place in May of 2007.
