What George Strait CD should my children buy for me for my birthday?

I already have "Somewhere Down in Texas." What is the "best" one besides that one? Thanks.

What is the "best" one besides that one?

There is no "one". Your children are going to have to come up with enough money to buy at least ten different CDs.

[MarineBrat]

I like "Pure Country" because of Heartland.

[Huntress]

I'd recommend the "Strait Out of the Box" set, but if you must choose one CD, get his first greatest hits album.

I prefer the upbeat musical stylings of Freddie Gage.

[rudy45]

I was afraid someone would say that lol. You're right of course. Thanks.

[Huntress]

Where do find this stuff?

[saganite]

For the Last Time, Live at the Astrodome is very good. Most live albums aren't that good but this one is great. Whatever you do don't buy the one he just released. I listened to it once and put it away. His worst effort ever in my humble opinion.

Go to Amazon and search for George and sample his albums. I buy a lot of my music that way. It helps me decide if I like a CD or not.

I'll second the recommendation of For The Last Time, an awesome album which features some material from GWB, no less!

[Choose Ye This Day]

That's exactly what I was going to ask.

[Liberty Valance]

50 number ones...

¡Tomá mate, ché!

Actually, that's a good idea. I may go heat up the pava right now. Mmmm...Taragui sin palo.

[Troublemaker]

I'd recommend the "Strait Out of the Box"

I'll second that.

Tell you what, Rudy. Since selecting one Straight CD is an impossibility have your kids get you this one -

Natalie Macmaster - Live

A double-CD of the finest fiddle player I have ever heard.

[jla]

So, what'd you get?

[rudy45]

lol another couple of weeks... but thanks for the interest...lol

[Starboard]

I'm not really a country music fan but always loved the song "All My Ex's Live in Texas" so bought "The Best of George Strait", 20th Century Masters, The Millennium Collection. Its a great album.

[jla]

lol another couple of weeks

Well then quit your lol'ing and get that Natalie MacMaster CD. I promise, you will love it.
As for one Strait CD, I'd go with -

...it's even got one of my favorites, Nobody in His Right Mind Would've Left Her on it.
