The New Face of George Strait...Writer, Country Crooner & "Twang" ...Good or Bad? George is already at the top?

Out of a 10 star rating I would give this cd a strong 7. It's not his best work, but it is worth adding to your collection. I wasn't impressed with "living for the night" when it came out and still I am not to keen on that song. "Arkansas Dave" is a good song and I believe it would make a pretty kool video if and when it is released as a single. "El Rey" is one that I am hoping will be released as a single. I think he did a very good job recording this clic and I was amazed at how well he sung in spanish. Makes me wonder if he speaks spanish fluently. "Twang" is a pretty good upbeat song, it's probably my second favorite on the album. "some kinda crazy" is alright also. The others are mediocre. As a songwriter I think he did ok. Only time will tell how well he did.
