After more than 20 years and 30-plus albums, George Strait might be entitled to cruise through a CD or two. But after the sublime "She'll Leave You with a Smile" hit the benchmark of 50 No. 1 country singles, the crisply starched Texan went on to make one of the most satisfying albums of his career. Honkytonkville finds him sitting a little taller on the barstool than his last efforts, more concerned with the kind of romantic disappointment that hurts too much for middle-of-the road leanings and requires more of a sawdust-on-the-floor environment. Jim Lauderdale's "She Used to Say That to Me" kicks things off with 100-proof hillbilly angst, and from there Strait serves up some pretty strong stuff: the exquisite heartbreak ballad "Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa," the rollicking "I Found Jesus on the Jailhouse Floor," and the George Jones-style novelty romp, "Honk If You Honky Tonk." Strait's session players--Matt Rollings on organ and Paul Franklin on steel guitar, for example--fill the space around his elegant vocals with taste and grace, supplying an audible teardrop and an anguished sigh. It all adds up to a nearly perfect album from a justifiable king of modern country. --Alanna Nash

Summary: George Doesn't Disappoint~ 2006-04-17
Comment: This is my first George Strait CD suggested by a close friend that enjoys "Cowboy's Like Us". Here's a thought are there others of you that believe this song relates to riding your motorcycle...but of course? Great song!
'Infinite Love', 'Desparately' and 'Heaven's Missing'An Angel are all faves, just to name a few.

Comment: In all of george's cd's I have at least one favorite song. On Honkytonkville,I have two - "Cowboy's like us",which I fell in love w/the moment I heard it,& "My infinate love".George is the greatest cowboy around and he still does'nt dissopoint.Honkytonkville is indeed one to add to the ol jukebox of collections.

Summary: Strait Hits 2005-03-06
Comment: Honkytonkville is one of George's bet albums yet, from Cowboys Like Us to Desperatly, this is an all around great album. My favorite song off of this album is Cowboys Like Us, talking about how him and his buddys go down to Mexico on their steel horses. This is overall another great album by the king of cool.
