{"product_id":"george-strait-50-number-ones-2cd","title":"George Strait - 50 Number Ones [2CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Strait has more chart-topping country hits than just about anyone, and 50 Number Ones gathers that remarkable run across a 2CD edition. It is the sound of a career built on consistency, taste and impeccable phrasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrait arrived in the early 1980s when country music was drifting towards pop crossover, and he answered with traditional western swing and honky-tonk delivered with a cool, effortless confidence. His approach helped steer Nashville back to its roots, and he kept scoring hits for decades. This collection, released in 2004, maps that rise song by song.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll My Ex's Live In Texas remains a rollicking, tongue-in-cheek favourite, built on fiddle and steel guitar. Ocean Front Property delivers one of country's great deadpan punchlines, while Check Yes Or No turns schoolyard romance into a warm, nostalgic singalong. Run shows a more reflective, tender side from later in his career, and the set also includes I Hate Everything, a new recording at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross both discs, the steady thread is that voice: unhurried, warm and impossibly smooth, never oversinging a single line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans and newcomers alike, there is no better single place to understand why he is called the King of Country. Fifty-one tracks and not a weak link in sight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478966247729,"sku":"008817039022","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/George_Strait-50_Number_Ones_2CD_e03602bb-0e2a-4794-b925-196377820923.jpg?v=1794396750","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/george-strait-50-number-ones-2cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
