"Ten Strait Hits was the great George Strait's third compilation of hits. Seven of the ten songs included are from the albums Livin' It Up and Beyond The Blue Neon. But what all of the songs have in common is that they're great for George Strait fans, or for any fan of country music of the late 80s and early 90s. There's not any upbeat or 'fast' songs here, just good and slow easy listening tunes. I have to admit that this isn't my favorite of George Strait's greatest hits albums, but it is a great one nonetheless. My favorites are "Baby Blue," "Love Without End Amen," and "What's Going On In Your World."For true George Strait fans, there is a two page success story of George Strait included in the cassette's booklet. When you read it, you'll learn some interesting facts such as the mention of many of George Strait's multiple awards, how he almost gave up on his dream of making it as a country singer to begin with, how former President Bush was a fan of George Strait, and more.Ten Strait Hits covers the January 1988 through the first week of 1991 era of George Strait. If you're a George Strait fan or even if you're just a casual country music listener, I recommend getting this one."
