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: Great Collection 2010-02-28
Comment: A must have for all Strait fans. Here is a collection of 51 of King George's record breaking #1 songs. Of course it can only be part your collection since George has so many more #1's and so many great songs that didn't quite make it to #1, but again a must have.

Summary: Super Effecient and Thoughful delivery of George Straight CD by Amazon just in time for Christmas 2010-02-17
Comment: Thank you Amazon for being the best. Far excellent customer service.........and the delivery of this wonderful George Straight CD. The package was non-descript (just like you said it would be) So that way my boyfriend had no idea it was a gift for him or where it was from etc.
It arrived so quickly and I was relieved of worry about it getting here on time.
He has the CD in his truck and he loves it and his Dad now wants to get the CD too after hearing it while they were driving.
Thanks Again Amazon for standing way above the rest!!!!!
