good but doesnt do George justice.

This compilation of George Strait hits is good. It covers many of his number ones. However several of the songs are 'chopped' for a lack of better words. I am a HUGE Strait fan. And i own all of his CDs so i thought this would be the perfect one to put in my car. It is good but several of the songs are missing key lyrics. Come on..its ok to fade a song out a few moments early but to cut out major parts of the vocals is to much. This CD set doesn NOT do George justice. However if you dont mind if a few things are missing in some of the songs its a good CD. I do keep it in my car. And i still sing it...there are a few songs that remain timeless on it.

A Decent Intro to George Strait

Here's a two CD set that attempts to cover the amazing career of George Strait. Personally, I dont think it's possible, and despite their best intentions, MCA Nashville was not entirely successful with this venture. All of the songs included are indeed signature george Strait; BUT, as others have pointed out, many of the songs have been edited/shortened. I consider it a slap in the face not only to the great George Strait and his songwrtiers, but more importantly, to his fans. With that said, the sound quality and layout of the discs are great; and the recordings are originals (although, often editied for length). If I were a true George Strait Fan, I'd go with the more complete Box Set. However, this is an affordable way to get a significant number of his hits on a 2 CD Set.

nothin better than this mans voice

Got this CD for myself and have listen to it over and over again was worth every cent . I usually don't buy CD's online but so far no problems and don't expect any .
