View More By George Strait Our ReviewComing off of Troubadour and its trifecta of radio hits (“I Saw God Today,” “Troubadour,” and “River of Love”), Twang is a more personal and modest statement from George Strait. Several songs are attributed to Dean Dillon and Jim Lauderdale, two longtime Strait collaborators, and Texas roots singer Delbert McClinton contributes “Same Kind of Crazy,” a song which (along with the title track and “Hot Grease and Zydeco”) gives the album down-home grit to balance the windswept romance of “Easy As You Go,” “Living for the Night,” and “The Breath You Take.” Nepotism is not usually a good thing, but “Out of Sight Out of Mind,” “Arkansas Dave,” and “He’s Got That Something Special,” all written with Strait’s son Bubba, have the honest, unassuming quality of folk songwriting. To close things Strait turns in a Spanish rendition of “El Rey,” a song by the legendary Mexican performer and writer Jose Alfredo Jimenez. At once the cover version functions as a tribute to Strait’s South Texas roots, a gift to his Spanish language audience, and an affirmation of his own exalted place in the corridors of song.. Customer ReviewsThe Breath You Take (5 stars)I have long been a George Strait fan, so I automatically downloaded this new album. I knew nothing about "The Breath You Take" before it began to play.

Maintaining some dignity in Country Music (5 stars) Once again for anyone out there really not sure what "true" country music should sound like, listen to this album (and pretty much every album by GS). If it wasn't for George, Alan and other classic artists (Haggard, Jennings, Cash, etc...) country music would be truly forgotten and dead. Instead we get the crap that Nashville has decided to throw in our face with their so-called "country" artists just for the almighty do BiographyBorn: May 18, 1952 in Poteet, TXGenre: Country Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Out of all the new country singers to emerge in the early '80s, George Strait stayed the closest to traditional country. Drawing from both the honky tonk and Western swing traditions, Strait didn't refashion the genres; instead, he revitalized them for a new decade. In the process, he became one of the most popular and influential singers of the decade, sparking...
