George Strait: Troubadour
Copy at Case Memorial Library
Contents: Troubadour — It was me — Brothers of the highway — River of love — House of Cash (with Patty Loveless) — I saw God today — Give me more time — When you're in love — Make her fall in love with me song — West Texas town (with Dean Dillon) — House with no doors — If heartaches were horses.
Notable lyrics: "The first thing I noticed / Were there were no doors in the plans / He said, 'If you build this for me / Then when she comes back / She'll never be able to leave me again.'"
Randy Vest wrote in People: "For 27 years George Strait has succeeded in country music by turning out solid, well-produced albums with a mix of hook-laden honky-tonkers, sensitive ballads and Texas two-steppers. This is no exception. As usual, some of the strongest material is cowritten by Dean Dillon, who duets with Strait on 'West Texas Town,' a delightful, fiddle-laced slice of western swing. The troubadour also gets a welcome assist from Patty Loveless. … Strait infuses it all with a laid-back delivery that is seemingly effortless" (4/14/08, p. 42).
