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

Summary: I don't care 2008-06-10
Comment: So some of the songs are truncated. I don't care! Country music is not a genre with a definite pattern in the composition like concerti and symphonies. It was difficult to get all those 50 hits on two discs, and I appreciate the effort.
When I'm riding down the road and listening to George Strait, I enjoy his own unique style with a hint of the rhythm that Johnny Cash used and a big dose of the melancholy that made us all love George Jones. Then I hear some novelty country Western tune from back in the 1980's, and I'm smiling again.
George Strait is the kind of male singer that makes a woman feel good. When we women listen to him, we can think about the men in our lives. His songs convey an appreciation and love for women. I don't know of anyone else who stirs up that much feeling. He's not self-absorbed, and his lyrics that he selects are all about men who loved women. Often things just didn't turn out right. The poignancy of this album and the vulerability of George Strait affect me.

Summary: It's George, so I give it five stars 2008-04-29
Comment: I love George Strait. He is the uncrowned king of country, and anybody who has listened to him and bought his records over the years know and love "King George." And if you listen to the opening vocals on songs like 'Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind,' you'll instantly know why.
While I have panned this release in some of my other George reviews (see 'Greatest Hits' where I complain about the really bad edits), I listened to this release and realized the edits aren't bad at all. Now yes, they ARE still edited, and that won't change, but if you're just avoiding this release because of the edits, they aren't that bad.
Disc one is where the classic George is. It features the new song 'I Hate Everything,' and the rest is the George from 1981-1992. The classic stuff starts with 'Fool Hearted Memory,' and ends with his role as Dusty in 'Pure Country' with the song 'I Cross My Heart,' which is the best song from the soundtrack.
Disc two features his most recent songs, including 'True,' 'You Can't Make A Heart Love Somebody,' 'Write This Down,' 'Check Yes Or No' and 'The Big One.' The edits here are, I think, worse than on disc one. But they aren't terrible, either.
Overall, this is highly recommended for a casual George fan. Not a bad set despite the edits.
Recommended. ENJOY!!!
