Disco de George Strait: “20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of George Strait”

Do not get me wrong the music that actually made it on to this cd is really good and that is not the problem. But like another reviewer said how can a George Strait collection like this be missing one of his best songs ever Amarillo by Morning! I think most George Strait fans have these songs already I have these on Strait out of the box, the original albums, and on greatest hit packages. 20th Century Masters sure left out alot of good songs like Ocean Front Property and so many more and what about after 1993 it seems on this collection that's the year George Strait stopped singing because nothing later than 1993 is on this cd. If own everything by George you do not need this because you just wasting your money.

Last tuesday when I saw this in the paper I thought not another 20th century masters low budget sellout greatest hits package. George strait isn't one of todays few hit wonders. This guy has a ton of good songs. This doesn't even have all "Amarillo by morning," I highly recommend ethier and or both greatest hits 1 and 2 and latest straitest greatest hits. Atleast there not doing it to Willie Nelson! Bottom line don't waste your hard earned dollar!

As a huge country music fan, I have always loved George Strait. Over the years, he has managed to turn out hit after hit after hit. He is one of country's best stars, and many country fans refer to him as 'King George.' And in 2002, he was awarded a compilation in UMG's 20th Century Masters series.

This set spans 1983-1994, a period where he was on country radio stations almost every day (he still is). He was at his peak during this time, and this set does a great job documenting it.

Read on for the positives and negatives.

Positives

-Most of the big Strait singles are here. 'You Look So Good In Love,' 'Famous Last Words,' 'Baby Blue,' and 'Easy Come, Easy Go' all appear on this set.

-The sound quality is superb!

Negatives

-THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY SONGS MISSING! Where are 'Check Yes Or No,' 'Adalida,' 'Unwound,' 'Right Or Wrong,' 'Fool Hearted Memory,' 'Marina Del Rey,' 'Amarillo By Morning' and his great duet with Frank Sinatra 'Fly Me To The Moon'?

George Strait stayed true to MCA his entire career, so it was easy for UMG to issue yet another Strait compilation. But since he had numerous hits that got radio airplay, it's virtually impossible to pick 12 songs for a compilation.

Overall, you'd best buy '22 More Hits' or 'Strait Out Of The Box.' But my advice is, unless you are an easily-pleased Strait fan or a die-hard who has to have everything Strait ever put out, just avoid this.

Recommended, but only for really casual or die-hard Strait fans.

GEORGE STRAIT IS COUNTRY, THE REAL THING. HE KNOWS WHAT FANS OF COUNTRY LIKE AND HE PRODUCES IT. BEING FROM HOUSTON WE GET TO SEE A LOT OF GEORGE AND HE IS A DOWN TO EARTH FELLOW. THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF THE BEST, BUT HE HASN'T PUT OUT A BAD ALBUM. GEORGE HASN'T GIVEN IN TO THE NEW COUNTRY AND THANK GOODNESS. HE IS SIMPLY GEORGE, A GOOD OLE BOY FROM TEXAS AND DOESN'T FORGET HIS ROOTS. I RANK HIM UP THERE WITH GEORGE JONES, RAY PRICE, MARTY ROBINS, HANK WILLIAMS, SR..

When I buy George Strait music, I am getting it to give away for a gift. The person I gave this to appreciated getting it! J. Hall
