Lead On

George Strait

90s honky-tonk storytelling. Polished baritone vocals meet twin fiddles and pedal steel for a record that feels like a long, honest conversation.

November 8, 1994 · MCA Records

A dignified, mid-tempo exploration of heartbreak and regional pride.

Moments Worth Listening For
The devastating narrative reveal in the final verse of I Met a Friend of Yours Today where the stranger knows too much.
The rhythmic shift and regional flavor of the accordion on Down Louisiana Way.
The way the pedal steel mimics the impatient ticking of a clock during What Am I Waiting For.
