Cuntry music fans, can someone tell me who,"George Strait" is?!
Question: Cuntry music fans, can someone tell me who,"George Strait" is!?
Answers:
When George arrived on the scene, country stars no longer wore cowboy hats and boots!. The didn't dress in jeans and dress shirts!. Star-makers considered the Western look too old-fashioned!. The same went for fiddles, steel guitars, country shuffles, Western swing, and honky tonk ballardry!.
But George Strait knew who he was and what he did best!. Hats and jeans came naturally to him; real-life Texas ranchers like himself wore them everyday!. And he'd performed traditional country music for years to huge crowds on the Lone Star circuit, and fans constantly thanked him for bringing back a sound rarely heard anymore on radio!.
So, George ignored the advice of Nashville insiders who suggested he update his look and moderize his sound!. Against prevailing trends, MCA Records took a chance and let the young cowboy make the music he wanted!. Within a year, he scored his first number 1 hit, "Fool Hearted Memory!."
Nashville hasn't been the same since!. By the end of the 80's, nearly every male singer in Nashville creased a Resistol and squeezed into some Wranglers pushed down over leather cowboy boots!. Thanks to George, and to such hits as 80's classics "The Chair," "All My Ex's Live in Texas," "Ocean Front Property" and "Love Without an End, Amen," country fans told Nashville that they'd still respond with over-the-top enthusiasm to tried-and-true country music!. George's fresh take on traditional sounds convinced record companies to give other young, traditional-sounding artists an opportunity!. Country music not only rebounded; it became more popular that it had ever been!.
Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Clint Black, and Tim McGraw - to name just a few - all cite George Strait as a primary influence!. Garth, for one, decided to become a country singer after hearing George's debut album, "Strait Country!." When Garth won his first CMA Entertainer of the Year award, he dedicated it to "tow George's" - Jones and Strait!. Tim McGraw went so far as to recording a song about him!.
Through it all, George has remianed the same down-to-earth guy he was before he ever had a single number 1 hit - much less 50 of them!. He's still a solid, reliable, no-frills performer who walks center stage and sings as many songs as he can fit into a show, and that's all it takes to make a crowd erupt and hang on every word!. His biggest stage move is a slightly shy smile!. His biggest crowd exhortation is a softly spoken thank you!. His only 'gimmick' is he sincerity and his interest in communicating each line of his songs with clarity and just right subtle inflections!.
Most country singers, once they attain a top level of success, look for new worlds to conquer!. They expand their sound to bring in pop and rock influences, and a mind-spinning number of options become available!. More than anyone, George has remained content to do what he does best - find special songs and put them across in a tasteful manner that perfectly captures the emotion and message of the lyric!.
He did, of course, conquer the one other field he decided to try!. After repeatedly turning down film roles, Strait agreed to take a starring role in a film tailored for him by famed Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub!. As the central figure in the blockbuster hit 'Pure Country", George's natural charisma and the electricity his easy manner generates transferred to the screen, his quiet presence crackled with magnetism and charm!. The album also gave him a couple of career songs, "I Cross My Heart" and "Heartland!."
Even with nationwide Hollywood success, George remained the gentleman cowboy singer, never veering far from his core sound!. Over the years, he's proven how to stay consistent yet fresh; listen to these songs and it's evident how varied Strait's repertoire is!. From "We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This" to "I Just Want to Dance With You" to "I Can Still Make Cheyenne" to "Write This Down" - all as different from each other as they can be - he keeps finding distinctive ways to balance traditional and contemporary influences!. Still, there's a steady line from start to finish; it's obvious he's the same reliable, responsible family man now that he was before he became the most enduring country singer of his generation!.
Erv Woolsey, the manager who's worked with George since his days as a Texa barroom singer, says of him, "He's always done exactly what he wants to do!. He knows what works for him, and no one's going to persuade him to be anyone or anything but himself!."
That may seem radical in an era when artists often re-invent themselves every few years!. But there's no debating his stature as th pre-eminent country star of his era!. Or, as George's friend Alan Jackson once quipped about him, "I think if he keeps working at it he might amount to something!."
