Amazon.com essential recording: When the hits come as effortlessly as they do to Strait, it's easy for an artist to lose interest. The man who ushered in country's hat-act era has spent a career bouncing from lifeless and fluffy to hard and soulful. This four-CD box tells the story from 1976 (when he cut the first of three singles for Houston indie D Records) through 1995. At his best--"Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind," for example--he defines the modern heart song, but lightweight stuff such as "Hollywood Squares" won't win him new converts. --John Morthland

The CD set that I ordered is great. It is in A-1 shape.
I am very happy with this seller
Rating: - Perfect George Collection
Although ten years old, this collection will give all the best of Strait's career from the beginning to the nineties. I am a new fan, so it was a good way for me to "catch up." His new album has already gone to number one so he still has it..
Rating: - Classic!!
If you love all of George Strait's old and new songs then you will definately enjoy this set. You get a mix of everything and all of the songs are awesome!!
Rating: - Strait to my CD player!
If you like Hank Jr. and Sr., Dwight Yoakam, etc you will love this collection. George Strait is one of the most diverse, talented and soulful of our contemporary country singers. This is a superb and well-rounded look at this wonderful artist. This collection and his CD Honkytonkin are my all-time George Strait favorites. Additionally, this box set is a a real bargain.
