Amazon.com essential recording
Released in 1985, this collection of George Strait's early hits demonstrates his easy affinity for honky-tonk (the Haggardish "Unwound," his 1981 breakthrough hit) and Western swing (the standard "Right or Wrong") as well as his ability to bend gracefully toward country-pop (the romantic ballad "Marina Del Rey"). But the most enduring song here is "Amarillo by Morning," a rodeo-cowboy anthem that, with its world-weary lyrics and lonesome fiddle coda, remains a perennial of Strait's live sets. --Rick Mitchell

 The best best of June 27, 2009
Brian Penn (Auburn, Wa USA)
Every song on this best of George Strait is a great, it includes classics like Amarillo by Morning, A fire I can't put out, and a wonderful love song Marina del Rey. The second best of is good but this my favorite

George Strait is one of those artists that can never have enough hits collections. As long as he is selling records and topping the charts, hits collections will just keep on coming.
And, Strait's original, the 1985 'Greatest Hits' release spanning George's first three records is essential. Yes, it's really skimpy, and it's only 10 songs long, but so what? It's still really definitve, and it gives the casual fan who wants nothing but classic George what they are looking for.
I'd recommend this over '50 Number Ones,' which features really bad single edits so 51 songs could fit on two CDs. But these are the full length album versions, digitally remastered to sound great. MCA gets extra pointers for remastering this.
I also like the song choice here. 'You Look So Good In Love,' 'Right Or Wrong,' 'A Fire I Can't Put Out,' 'Unwound,' and 'Marina Del Rey' all appear on this set, which are some of his finer songs.
Highly recommended for any George Strait fan. A great CD to own. ENJOY!!!

As a new George Strait fan, I like this one almost as much as Greatest Hits Vol. 2. And better than his newer recordings.

This is a good album for anyone who is a George
Strait fan.
Strait's cover of Terry Stafford's 1973 hit,
"Amarillo By Morning" is the centerpiece of the
album, and deserves a little attention.
While Strait's version of this song is probably the
most similar to Stafford's original performance,
with all the improvements in instrumentation,
it still lacks something of the spirit of the original.
Maybe it's the different style of backing vocals.
Still a decent cover, and since Stafford's version
isn't likely to become available on CD any time soon,
it's probably as good as we're gonna get.
