Review

Rolling Stone (p.63) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "TROUBADOUR is up to the usual standards, maybe better. There's witty, swaggering honky-tonk and the requisite hot-fiddle swing number."

Title Note

The last country New Traditionalist standing, the tireless George Strait was still churning out solid, roots-conscious fare like TROUBADOUR on a regular basis after more than a quarter-century on the job. The title track casts a wistful look back while declaring the singer's intention to keep forging ahead. Aided by Patty Loveless, Strait sings the praises of Johnny and June on the moving elegy "House of Cash," while "Make Her Fall In Love With Me Song" is the kind of tune that could have been pumping out of a honky-tonk jukebox when Strait was still the new kid on the block. His lifelong love affair with Western Swing gets an airing here on the sprightly Dean Dillon duet "West Texas Town." At an age when some singers might think about slowing down, Strait sounds like he's just picking up speed on TROUBADOUR.

Editorial Reviews
TOWER.COM REVIEW

George Strait - Troubadour

Platinum or bust may be the adage that George Strait has based his career on thus far. This thirty-two album, platinum or better artist has been running the gauntlet since his 1981 release “Strait Country”, and he isn’t taking a rest. His latest sound stamp Troubadour, destined to be hit number thirty-three, delivers that sure as the sun will rise comfort we expect from a Strait album.

From “House of Cash”, accompanied by Patty Loveless, to “West Texas Town”, sportin’ some much needed as well as anticipated fiddlin’, this album delivers with a sparkle. “King George” has all the guts and glory that come with creating a hit every time.

At fifty-five this poetic country musician seems to be just getting warmed up, providing Strait fans with a dose of pure country flavor that is matched by few. The western juniors should take a lesson from George; shape up, and fly “Strait”.

Favorite songs – “West Texas Town”, “House of Cash.”

George Strait has followed up his platinum album, IT JUST COMES NATURAL with another success! Troubadour provides a steady and melodic supply of country music. This is a must have for Bluegrass and contemporary country music fans.
