George Strait: Lead On (MCA 11092)

Geoffrey Himes, Country Music, January 1993

YOUNGER COUNTRY fans who kick themselves for missing the glory clays of Lefty Frizzell and Merle Haggard should thank their lucky stars they're living through the glory days of George Strait. In the year 2014, when a whole new generation of critics are complaining that "these young Nashville stars can't begin to compare to the old guys like George Strait" and when a whole new generation of bands are recording tracks for yet another George Strait tribute album, you'll want to be able to say, "Oh, yeah, I still have the original issues of all those classic George Strait albums."
