Album Description

Of the 20 songs on The Very Best Of George Strait 1981-1987, 'Down and Out', 'Marina Del Rey', 'Right Or Wrong' & 'Let's Fall To Pieces Together' are some of the more catchy, well sung tunes which you can't help but sing along to. On this collection, you get the songs that made him a star in the first place, beginning with 'Unwound', a top ten country hit. This was followed by 'Down And Out' which was only a top twenty hit. After that, his career really took off. He proved his ability to sing songs in a variety of moods and tempos, ranging from tender ballads to swinging up-tempo songs, all delivered in his particular style - a blend of traditional country and western swing, suitably updated from the eighties. Universal.

Customer Reviews:

DON'T BUY THIS CD.......2005-01-03

I happen to be a huge George Fan, and I would NEVER buy this CD. This is George and Universal Music acting like "The Who", and releasing YET ANOTHER greatest hits package (I think they are up to a DOZEN) You could actually SAVE money, by buying the boxed set, and 50 Strait Hits (So you can get music within the past 10 years), instead of this CD and the Very Best Of Strait (1998-1993).
Between this CD, 1998-1993, "50 Strait Hits", and "The Platinum Collection", GS has released FOUR greatest hits packages in LESS then a year, enough is enough. I am a GS completist, who has bought EVERY GS non-greatest hits package (I have the boxed set "50 Strait Hits", and "Latest Greatest Straitest Hits" (For "The Best Day and "Murder On Music Row")), so I know this man's music. I also know when they want to rip fans off, and that is what they are trying to do. DON"T let them get away with it, and do not buy anymore "New" GS CDs until we get some BRAND NEW MUSIC.

George's first 20 hits.......2003-02-19

You could say that this compilation is unimaginative - it simply contains the first twenty hits of George's long and distinguished career, in date order. Yet that is exactly what makes this collection so good. George was one of the most important new stars of country music in the eighties, and he sustained a successful career throughout the nineties and beyond.

On this collection, you get the songs that made him a star in the first place, beginning with Unwound, a top ten country hit. This was followed by Down and out which was only a top twenty hit. After that, his career really took off. He proved his ability to sing songs in a variety of moods and tempos, ranging from tender ballads to swinging up-tempo songs, all delivered in his particular style - a blend of traditional country with western swing, suitably updated from the eighties.

Among the classics included here, you will find Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind,, All my ex's live in Texas, Right or wrong and Let's fall to pieces together. In case you're thinking that this CD stops too soon, don't worry - there is a second volume covering the period to 1993. Buy and enjoy them both.

Retro Look at Psychobilly Pioneers.......2007-01-23

This best of gives you everything you're looking for from the Meteors, who, like The Cramps, put swamp rock psychobilly heaven on the map. This overview includes some of their best singles, including the crowd pleasing, foot stomping punky tinged "Mutant Rock." Although they are not nearly as adept at providing the familiar blues infused romp like their American counterparts, this IS the best from over the pond, and their b-movie horror flick tinged lyrics confirm it. A must for any serious collection.

Only The Meteors.......2003-10-19

The Meteors invented Psychobilly. The Cramps may say that they did but The Meteors are "IT" The have some of the catchiest songs I have ever heard. Listen to Chainsaw Boogie, The Crazed, Rockabilly Psychosis, and Shout So Loud. They are extremely well written songs, and very catchy. You can't truly say that you are a psychobilly fan if you don't have at least one favorite Meteors album. For a good album pick up "In Heaven".

Don't settle for less than the best.......2003-06-27

I'm a psychobilly and rockabilly fan, and the meteors are a very popular psychobilly band. I find them hard to listen to because the singers voice is not inviting and pleasing to the ear. The instrumentals are good, but if you want something really fun to listen to that you won't get sick of, don't settle for this. There's much better psychobilly out there.
