| | George Strait For The Last Time: Live From The Astrodome CD George Strait Discography of CDs
 (5 Customer Reviews)
This live album marks a major event in more than one way. While any George Strait concert is an event in itself, this is the first live album the singer has released in over 25 years of recording. It's doubly significant as it marked the last night of the Houston Rodeo at the Astrodome, a four-decade tradition. Strait's name had become synonymous with the Rodeo by this time, so it was only naturally for him to play on its final night at the Dome, a pomp-and-circumstance affair that was even attended by President Bush.
The songs Strait performs with his kickin' live band run the gamut of his repertoire. There's the old-school Western swing of "Take Me Back to Tulsa," the New Traditionalist semi-modernism of "Write This Down," the honky-tonk humor of "Murder on Music Row," and much more, all delivered with Strait's rare combination of taste and charisma. Fittingly, things close out to much fanfare with the elegiac "The Cowboy Rides Away."
Recorded live at the Astrodome, Houston, Texas on March 3, 2002.

One of Best Live CD's of All Time
This is a great CD. George loses nothing from studio to stage, in fact, in some ways, he is better. He chooses some of his greatest songs, like "Amarillo By Morning", which gives me chill bumps. One of the great class acts of country music of all time.

On HONKYTONKVILLE, George Strait continues to provide a beacon of light for those who despair of 21st century country's shift towards generic pop. The title track itself could easily have fallen off of Merle Haggard's pickup truck, and in a similar spirit, the churning roadhouse romp "Honk if You Honky Tonk" would sound equally at home on a George Jones record. Strait is an interpreter (and a fine one), not a writer, and he taps some of the hippest songmen in the country game (including Jim Lauderdale, Bruce Robison, and Monte Warden) for the uniformly high-quality material to which he lends his lungs here. "Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa" could be a country cousin of Tom T. Hall's classic "That's How I Got ...

| | George Strait Somewhere Down In Texas CD (2005)
For The Last Time: Live From The Astrodome album
$10.45
On SOMEWHERE DOWN IN TEXAS, the ever-reliable George Strait stays the course he'd charted for years prior, which is to say that he once again manages to combine mainstream appeal with a classy, understated country style that makes no secret of his roots in George Jones, Merle Haggard, and the like. Unlike nearly every other country star of his era, Strait never comes anywhere near the rock trappings or power ballads that are de rigeur in so much contemporary country. There may be the occasional extraneous orchestration here and there, but any album that opens with "If the Whole World Was a Honky Tonk" and lives up to the title must have its heart in the right place. Along the way, there are echoes of Roger Miller's slightly jazzy sound ("The ...

There's no way to mistake David Ball for anything other than the real deal. The lanky North Carolina cowboy is pure honky tonk, and THINKIN' PROBLEM is a whiskey-soaked, broken-hearted, walkin'-the-floor classic.
Authentic steel and fiddle-heavy instrumentation, pure country lyrics ("I say I've burned her memory, but I'm just blowing smoke/ There's embers in the ashes, ...
