01: Amarillo By Morning (1982)

quote:

From the opening fiddle lick, you know the song; it’s George Strait’s woe-laden voice, though, that makes the track so memorable. Singing the hard-scrabble lyrics – more outlaw than Strait country – he’s the most velvety-sounding cowboy you’ve ever heard, even if occasional vibrato makes him sound like he’s holding back tears. It’s all dusty roads and wide-open spaces, as iconic a country song as exists thanks in large part to its perfect simplicity. As he sings it, “I ain’t rich but, Lord, I’m free.”

I like George but as far as traditional country music Garth brooks is the best.

I would comment something nice but I know Garth is a jealous Garth. His watchful eye is always upon us.

George had far more #1 hits than Garth and I love Garth Brooks.

Underrated song from George is "Run."

He said, it's cold out here and I'm all alone
Didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home
I know I've been away too long
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But I'll be home soon
And honey is there somethin' wrong

Garth is scum. Saying Garth is better is like saying Spice Girls are better than Heart.

I wonder if Ft. Worth ever crosses his mind.

George Strait is one of the few artists where I can’t think of a song he did that I don’t like

One of my all-time favorites w/one of my all-time favorite lyrics:
"I don't have a dime but what I got is mine. I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free!"

And I like Garth, a lot. Own every album he's ever done(except Chris Gaines), but he's no George Strait. He's in another stratosphere.

George is great. Some of his lyrics are just on a different level.
