Strait Out of the Box [Box] by George Strait

If anyone likes country music then this boxset is a must have.George unleashes all the greatest songs of his career on an impressive 4 CD box set that is well worth the $40.

To start out with Disc 1 he goes back to his roots of when he first hit the country scene.This disc contains 18 tracks with 3 of them never released before to the public.Those are:ANY OLD LOVE WON'T DO, WHAT WOULD YOUR MEMORIES DO and I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU CALLING MY NAME.
These 3 songs were recorded between 1982 and 1983 but never released.This disc also includes hits such as BLAME IT ON MEXICO and YOU LOOK SO GOOD IN LOVE.

Disc 2 starts out with a cut from Bob Wills collection entitled RIGHT OR WRONG.This shows how much of a country musican he is.Also included in this 18 track disc are hits like THE FIREMAN,THE CHAIR,LEFTY'S GONE
and ALL MY EX'S LIVE IN TEXAS.All these tracks were recorded between 1983 and 1987.This disc also includes a duet with the great Hank Thompson
entitled 6 PACK TO GO.

Disc 3 continues this spectacular set by starting out with a ballad BABY BLUE.This songs will make any person want to shed a couple tears.On this disc you will also find great hits dating between 1987 and 1991 including BABYS GOTTEN GOOD AT GOODBYE,LOVE WITHOUT END,AMEN,and IF I KNOW ME.I have to say that out of the 4 disc's that this 1 has to be the best one.

Disc 4 ends this set on a great note with all his latest hits from 1991 thru 1995.Also on this disc you will find alot of songs from his hit movie
PURE COUNTRY,including the smash hitHEARTLAND.Songs like OVERNIGHT MALE and WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS add a upbeat tempo that was missing from the majority of this set.There are 3 brand new songs also included on this disc as well including the long awaited duet with FRANK SINATRAentitledFLY ME TO THE MOON,as well as the hit CHECK YES OR NO.After you listen to this disc you will want more of his music so here are some of the disc's that I believe are a must
own:STRAIT FROM THE HEART(1982),DOES FORT WORTH EVER CROSS YOUR MIND(1984)BEYOND THE BLUE NEON(1989),EASY COME EASY GO(1993)and LEAD ON(1994).

This box set also includes a great 72 page book that gives his version on how each song was chosen and the story behind his recordings.
