Re: George Strait-22 More Hits Full Album Zip
Latia Shiels
22 More Hits is George Strait's 2007 compilation CD, comprising hits that did not reach Number One (except for "She Let Herself Go") on the country charts, from his 1981 debut single "Unwound" to his most recent single at the time of the album's release, "How 'bout Them Cowgirls". The collection is intended as a follow-up companion to 50 Number Ones, a 2004 compilation which featured all of Strait's singles that had reached #1 to that point.
To more casual fans, this rhythm of song selection might've been a bit tiresome, but if you were a Strait diehard, you would be hard pressed to find any fault with this show. A handful of songs incorporated heavy rodeo imagery, both in lyrics and in production, with Strait even alluding to his first appearance at the event way back in 1983, with photos from his first appearance flashing on screen during "Troubadour" from the 2008 album of the same name.
All the big ones made the final cut: "Check Yes or No" from 1995's Strait Out of the Box; "The Fireman" from 1985's Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind; "The Chair" from 1985's Something Special; and the soulful, perfection of a country song "Amarillo By Morning" from 1982's Strait from the Heart, which Strait called his "most favorite song, ever." So many more were either chart-toppers or major country hits.
