Still another excellent record from George

"Though I didn't become a big fan of George Strait until I saw him in the movie Pure Country, I think George has put out some excellent records. His '99 album Always Never The Same is no exception.



The record's initial hit single, "Meanwhile", is a classic George Strait country song. The waltzing tempo on the song is reminiscent of one of George's early hit songs, "You Look So Good In Love", although "Meanwhile" is a bit slower. And what would an album by George be if it didn't have at least one lost-love song on it? Besides "Meanwhile", this record includes two other songs with the lost-love theme, "That's The Truth" and "4 Minus 3 Equals Zero", with the latter song having the added dimension of a marital breakup.



A Strait album is not all cry-in-your-beer, though. On this album, "Write This Down", "One Of You", and the title song "Always Never The Same" are fun, up-tempo songs that I think will be danced to on a lot of dance floors. Furthermore, George has three positive love songs on this record: "I Look At You", "That's Where I Wanna Take Our Love", and "What Do You Say To That". This is a listenable, well-put-together album, like practically everything George has done. George has still another excellent record in Always Never The Same."

Write THIS Down...This album is great!

"George Strait provided one of his best efforts in the album "Always Never The Same." The best song from the Album, "Write This Down" was Number One in country music for FOUR consecutive weeks. Only "Amazed" from the ONE HIT WONDER group Lonstar, was number 1 longer (it was played over and over and over and over...). "Write This Down" was written by Dana Hall and the Late Kent Robbins - who was one of the most talented and class-act songwriters in Nashville for 25 years. George did the song justice. But I am AMAZED that the CMA did not even nominate it for song of the year! In my books it was! Great album and a lot of fun."

A Must-have
