Editor's review
Strong, steady, and straight-ahead, that's been the George Strait way since the back-to-basics country star first started cranking out hits in the early '80s. Working a honky-tonk vein similar to that of Haggard and Jones, and cranking out one chart topper after another, this mild-mannered Texan's given neo-traditionalism a permanent home on Music Row.
Biography
For the past two and a half decades there has been one constant in country music: the presence of George Strait hit records.
From his first Number One song "Fool Hearted Memory" in early 1982 through his 51st "I Hate Everything" and right up to "You'll Be There," the words George Strait and country hit have been synonymous. In fact, he has scored more Number One songs than any other single artist in history and has sold over 62 million records in the meantime amassing 28 platinum or multi-platinum discs-more than any other country artist.
