George Strait

While critics call George
Strait a living legend and his
legions of fans consider him
to the be the “King of
Country”, George describes
himself adequately in his hit
single ‘Troubadour’ as
being one for life. While most
other country musicians might
have been moderately
successful until they hit the
spotlight, George Strait hit
paydirt as soon as he released
his first single known as
“Unwound” in 1981.

And with a career spanning
almost three decades now,
George Strait has registered
the largest number of hit
singles which truly makes him
a legend of country music. And
that number, as of the year
2010, is at 57 with definitely
a few years (and hits) to go.

The impact that he has made
during the neo-traditional
years of country music with
his unique style of bar-room
ballads, western swing music
and the honky-tonk style has
indeed found him contributing
to the genre of country music
like no other, as he has been
known to combine traditional
country music with a modern
edge to give it just that much
more, than both traditional
and modern musicians have been
able to put together.

And the evidence is pretty
clear to all: apart from
holding the record of the
highest number of number one
hits, he holds another records
such as having the most gold,
platinum and number one albums
in the history of country
music.

And if that’s not enough, he
was inducted into the Country
Music Hall of Fame as well as
Artist of Decade (by ACM) in
the 2000s thus securing him a
place amongst the best and who
will remembered even when
they’re long gone. Yes,
he’ll be an old Troubadour
when he’s gone, alright!
