Twang

George Strait

Polished Nashville production meets gritty outlaw storytelling. A late-career highlight featuring family collaborations and a surprising turn into traditional mariachi.

August 11, 2009 · Hump Head Records

A seasoned, comfortable confidence that occasionally leans into dark, dusty storytelling.

Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected transition into full Spanish vocals on the closing cover of El Rey.
The gritty, narrative-driven guitar work on Arkansas Dave that feels like a modern Western.
The way the pedal steel sighs during the bridge of Living for the Night, mirroring the isolation of the lyrics.
