Editorial Review:

Album Description:
The follow-up CD to George Strait's platinum selling and CMA Album of the Year, IT JUST COMES NATURAL, is TROUBADOUR. George Strait truly is a modern day troubadour - now in his 28th year of making music,George continues to be an artist driven by his passion to make music of the highest quality.

TROUBADOUR features the smash single "I Saw God Today".

Amazon.com:
Well into his third decade at the top, album # 37 for George Strait maintains the consistency and high quality that's marked the vast majority of his work from the start. Like Alan Jackson, he's has always been more comfortable in conventional country fiddle and steel guitar settings, and that's largely where he remains with Troubadour. Even the good-natured, Caribbean feel of "River of Love" is closer to vintage Strait than Jimmy Buffett. The more somber "House of Cash" is a duet with Patty Loveless. It tells the story of the tragic, 2007 fire that took the home of Johnny Cash, and reflects on what could not be obliterated by the flames. Strait reverts to classic, Lone Star State form with "Make Her Fall With Me Song," a honky tonk shuffle in the style of Ray Price or George Jones, while the gorgeous western swing-driven "That West Texas Town" is a duet with Dean Dillon. With Troubadour Strait avoids surprises, if only by virtue of his continuing skill working wonders within a time-honored style. --Rich Kienzle

- Another winning set from country music's Mr. Consistency
"Consistent" would be an insult to an artist of Strait's caliber if it were used euphemistically to mean "mediocre," but in Strait's case, it means consistently good. Very good. Few have waxed as listenable an album catalog as Strait, filled out with hit singles and deep album tracks, and punctuated by exceptional entries like 1989's Beyond the Blue Neon and 2003's Honkytonkville. His unerring ear for material and the enthusiasm he's brought to recording on a nearly annual basis since 1981 (this is his twenty-eighth album in twenty-eight years!) is simply breathtaking. Even more impressive is that Strait's kept true to his own artistic vision as trends came and went, yet his work has never become repetitious or perfunctory. His latest album extends the streak with a thoughtful collection of ... Read More
