GEORGE STRAIT
HERE FOR A GOOD TIME
============================================================
USA Today: “Strait hasn’t lost his touch for finding astonishing material”
Entertainment Weekly chose it as one of the Fall’s biggest albums (2011)
People: ”Three decades into a phenomenally successful career, George Strait never phones it in.
Great American Country: “it’s apparent that the 59-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer is as sharp as ever when it comes to crafting vivid story-songs that command the listener’s attention long after the album’s over.” –
American Songwriter: “One of country music’s steadiest figures”
The New York Times: “George Strait is a model of reserve, balance and craft.”
Los Angeles Times: "George Strait has picked up the songwriting ball comparatively late in life, but he’s running with it full tilt.”
The Philadelphia Inquirer: “Strait's now-30-year recording career has been marked by unwavering artistic integrity as well as commercial clout, and, like his impeccable appearance - crisp shirt and jeans and cowboy hat - that shows no signs of changing. If anything, going back at least to 2009's excellent Twang, the singer sounds newly invigorated, as evidenced in part by his renewed interest in writing.
The Dallas Morning News: “Here For A Good Time” truly showcases his way with crafting words and music.” ….. “This disc announces the arrival of George Strait the songwriter.”
Associated Press: “Thirty years after his MCA Records debut, George Strait is making the most adventurous music of his career.”
Associated Press: “Strait has spent his career defying music industry conventions; as he starts his fourth decade as a star, he's proving that Nashville's focus on youth still has to make room for an old-timer who's making music as undeniably strong as ever.”
Austin American-Statesman: “George Strait makes the best George Strait album of anyone.”
The Boston Globe: “Justifiably earned the sobriquet King George”
“George has always made music that is timeless. It doesn’t chase the trends or the latest image of country music. His sound and style have remained constant and true,” says Granger Smith, a San Marcos-based performer who’s scored seven Top 10 singles on the Texas Music Chart.
Granger Smith (Texas music artist): “Texas is a way of life, and George Strait’s music mimics the heartbeat.”
Houston Chronicle: “Strait’s career trek isn’t just impressive. It’s legitimately incredible.”
Houston Chronicle: “Obviously with each new album, Strait proves he's not living off the heat from those first initial hits.”
The Miami Herald: “Leave it to King George to save the country industry from the generic malaise it has been mired in for the last year or so.”
The Salt Lake Tribune: “This album shows why Strait continues to be one of the top-selling recording artists in any genre.”
San Antonio Express News: “His most personal [album]”
The Oklahoman: "King George doesn't appear to be fading in his ability to churn out a quality country album.”

Houston Press: “Obviously with each new album, Strait proves he's not living off the heat from those first initial hits, like some artists his age.”
Lone Star Music: "George Strait remains the standard by which all modern mainstream country singers are judged — as much for his classic cowboy demeanor and ability to sing songs like he’s talking to a friend as for the quality of songs he’s chosen over the course of a career that’s spanned three decades.”
The Sunday Okland Press: ”He’s a country singer’s country singer, a traditional holdout who’s happy t keep the fiddles wailing and the pedal steels weeping while the young ‘uns try to cross over to the pop charts.”
COUNTRY MUSIC PEOPLE: “The standout track is ‘Shame on Me’. Interestingly, this is written by only Bubba and his dad, and it is a shining example of the perfect George Strait record. It actually sounds as though it could have come from the pen of Jim Lauderdale.”
Maverick: "This album is a musical statement from the man whose name it bears. It is a name that means sincerity, honesty and class. George Strait is a name that completely defines the word ‘country music.’”
Monsters & Critics: “Country music icon George Strait’s new studio album ‘Here For a Good Time’ is the perfect example of what has made the singer a legend in his genre and that he is still at the top of his game.”
Music News Nasvhille: “This might be the most unique Strait album yet…. this album is proof why Strait is as universally loved as he is. Get ready to add another chapter to one of the greatest stories in Country Music history!”
Slant Magazine: “It's this willingness to take some calculated risks with his trademark sound and to develop his voice as a songwriter that makes Strait's most recent run the richest and most rewarding of his career, and Here for a Good Time is both a good time and a new peak for Strait.”
St. Cloud Times: “This is another win for George”
Times Record News: “It is without a doubt the best and most countrified country album I've heard all year …. "Here for a Good Time" is as close to a perfect country album as I've ever heard, and I hope it keeps his name at the top of everyone's charts.”
Taste of Country: ‘Here For a Good Time’ proves he still belongs amongst the upper crust of male country singers. No one can accuse him of living off a legacy.”
Taste of Country: “His career has crossed three decades because he never gets complacent and is never afraid to take chances.”
Today's Country: “This album is a perfect combination of what Strait has done best throughout the years offering longtime fans what they’ve come to expect from him, but by writing a majority of the songs on the album, for the first time Strait gives you a piece of him as well.”
