- The most perfect country album ever recorded.
This album combines two sure-fire winners: Dean Dillon's formittable songwriting and Mr. Strait, country music's purest voice. Most of the songs on the album can even be appreciated by folks who generally don't care for country. If you fall into this catagory, you'll do well to check out Blame It On Mexico, I Get Along With You, Friday Night Fever, and If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger. These songs could almost be catagorized as soft rock/easy listening. However, songs such as Down And Out, She's Playing Hell.., and Unwound round out the album with their more conventional beer-drinkin' honky tonk sound. Also, the production quality is crisp, clear and tight. For under seven bucks, you'll own the best country album ever recorded. Customer review - November 15, 1999

- Could'nt be better
This CD has 3 of the best George Strait songs (in my ears) on it. "I Get Along With You", "Friday Night Fever" and "Her Goodbye Hit Me In The Heart" . Can't remember how many times we've all enjoyed this CD around the fire at partys. If you are just starting to get into Strait's music, this CD is a must have! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:
- Strait at his best
This is when he really had it down pat, prior to the new country explosion and the tearing down of country music...here was George playing real, honest-to-goodness country music. Sounds great. Customer review - February 03, 1999

- this album was 'strait country' not like what he sings now.
To me George's earliest albums where his best.His early records are what made him, and no one can sing those older Texas swing songs better than george!!!! - Strait Country
"When pupil is ready, the teacher appears".
It was about 5 years after George Strait recorded his movie "Pure Country", and I randomly turned on TV, after work late at the winter Sunday evening. I've missed the beginning with title and names of players. I just hear his voice, before he came down through that "fog" on first scene. At the End, I walk close to TV, to see who he was.
I have about 20 his CD's, and I "needed" his music at time I was at the bottom. For me was like meditation music, and when my voice in my head was talking and talking.., and I could not turned it off, I put hear rings on my ears and George's CD. Thank You George.
Sincerely
Veronika
