Oh dear, if there is something I simply can't stomach it is country. If I had
to choose I would pick a year of listening to the Dead over any amount of
country. Geez, I'm strikin' out with on all music fronts with you.
I think I'd choose country over the Dead - the men are cuter.

George Strait, From the album- Ocean Front Property 1987
George Strait, born in Pleasanton, Texas, 32 miles south of San Antonio
All My Ex's Live In Texas
http://youtu.be/RNWF6eJr81k http://youtu.be/RNWF6eJr81k
"All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
Rosanna's down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's
Got the law looking for me
Chorus
I remember that old Frio River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight
All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
Therefore I reside in Tennessee
Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee"

Ace in the Hole by George Strait
George Strait and his band, all local boys, are known for performing songs
that sound just like the record album. A very tight band, great voice, and
simple songs with great lyrics. This is an example of modern country, not
honky-tonk corn. One of my favorites:

Tear Jerk Song
George Strait - Give It Away
http://youtu.be/qYNcR44qKds http://youtu.be/qYNcR44qKds
"She was stormin' through the house that day
And I could tell she was leavin'
And I thought, 'aw, she'll be back.'
Until we turned around and pointed at the wall and said
That picture from out honeymoon
That night in 'Frisco Bay
Just give it away
She said give it away
That big four poster king sized bed
Where so much love was made
Just give it away
She said just give it away
[Chorus]
Just give it away
There ain't nothing in this house worth fightin' over
Oh, we're both tired of fightin' anyway
Just give it away
Oh, I tried to move on
But I found that each woman I held
Just reminded me of that day
When that front door swung wide open
She flung her diamond ring
Said, give it away
Just give it away
And I said, now honey
Don't you even want your half of everything
She said give it away
Just give it away
[Chorus]
So, I'm still right here where she left me
Along with all the other things that she don't care about anymore
Hmm
Like that picture from our honeymoon
That night in 'Frisco Bay
She said give it away
Well, I can't give it away
That big four poster king sized bed
Where all our love was made
She said give it away
Well, I can't give it away
I've got furnished house
A diamond ring
And a lonely, broken heart
Full of love
And I can't even give it away"

George Strait - Amarillo By Morning (Live From The Houston Astrodome)
http://youtu.be/kX_9Go0Z8e4 http://youtu.be/kX_9Go0Z8e4
One of my favorite Straight songs, "Amarillo by Morning", is regarded by many
as one of the greatest country songs of all-time. Billboard ranked Strait No. 1
in the top 25 country artists of the past 25 years.
"According to the RIAA, Strait is the 12th best-selling album recording artist
in the United States overall, with 60 number one hit singles. Strait was named
Artist of the Decade by the Academy of Country Music. He was inducted into the
Country Music Hall of Fame, and won his first Grammy award for the album
Troubadour. Strait was named CMA Entertainer of the Year in 1989, 1990 and
2013, and ACM Entertainer of the Year in 1990."
