50 Number Ones
Description
This first ever collection of George’s 50 1 career
singles is a 2-CD set including “I Hate Everything”, the new single showing
signs that George isn’t satisfied with just 50 1’s. When George
Strait’s “She’ll Leave You With a Smile” moved to the top of the country
charts in early 2003, the handsome Lone Star crooner bested Conway Twitty for
the most No. 1 singles by a solo artist. This collection of 50 chart-toppers,
spanning 22 years, showcases the Cadillac of country singers at his best,
blending traditional and contemporary stylings, but never straying too far
from the core of his Texas barroom sound. “Fool Hearted Memory,” from 1982,
proves that Strait had his uncluttered production and straightforward vocal
approach down from the start, no matter how many producers guided him to his
peak. Through the years, the path to superstardom dictated that he trade the
crisp Western swing of “Right or Wrong” and “Ace in the Hole” for squishy,
mid-tempo crowd pleasers like “Check Yes or No” and “Write This Down.” But he
redeemed himself with such poignant heartbreakers as “So Much Like My Dad” and
” Smile.” This retrospective’s one new track, “I Hate Everything,” about a man
in a bar who’s besotted more from pain than whiskey, doesn’t match up with the
singer’s best material, but it’s still got that irresistible Strait hook:
average-guy sincerity wrapped in a down-to-earth heart. –Alanna Nash
