22 More Hits

by George Strait

Overview

Cutting to the chase in a greatest-hits offering is always the best way to go. There's a reason this disc is called 22 More Hits, and that's because George Strait has laid out single after single after single since the early 1980s, and has become the most consistently top-selling artist in the contemporary country books. Strait continues to top polls, issue new albums, and tour with astonishing regularity and has ridden a wave that no one could have foreseen in this fickle industry. From "Amarillo Morning," and "When Did You Stop Loving Me," to "Don't Make Me Come Over There and Love You," and "If You're Thinking You Want a Stranger," they are all here. The inclusion of so many number ones on a single disc make this the de facto best-of in the catalog of this most impressive and consistent artist who embodies not only the tradition, but what's best about the contemporary sound as well. ~ Thom Jurek
