The sunset motif on the cover of George Strait's 28th MCA album since 1981 hints at a more private, thoughtful ambiance. This is reflected in the title song, the introspective "The Middle of Nowhere," and the contented (if bland) domesticity of "Living and Living Well." Strait adds a smoking revival of Chip Taylor's rockabilly homage "The Real Thing," though the convivial remake of Del Reeves's 1969 honky-tonk hit "Good Time Charley's" didn't need the annoying overdubbed barroom sounds. As always, letting Strait be Strait is the key. When that doesn't happen and unsuitable material enters the mix, things quickly falter, as they do on his tepid version of Rodney Crowell's "Stars on the Water" and the formulaic "Don't Tell Me You're Not in Love." On the power ballad "Run," Strait's loose-limbed vocal style slams head-on into a ponderous, synthesizer-heavy arrangement with disastrous results. A few more like the album's closer, a superb interpretation of Merle Haggard's blissful "My Life's Been Grand," would have helped. --Rich Kienzle

great product-great price
I am a HUGE George Strait fan and I had to have this cd. Thanks for your great prices and very prompt service.
AMAZING!
This is the album that transformed George Strait from a country music superstar to a country music legend. This is far and away his best album ever and one of the best albums ever recorded by anyone in any genre. Every song on here could be a #1 hit. This CD got so much play by me I had to buy a second copy because I scratched the first one moving it from CD player to CD player. I can't recommend this CD enough.
HIS REAL BEST EVER
For all you George Strait fans......this "ROAD LESS TRAVELED" is really his best.TRUBADOR is up there...but this is a work of cowboy genius.
Evidently, the "Road Less Traveled" was a famous self help book in the 60's used by rehab centers to treat AA.
This is the best place to start, if your new to the G.Strait world.
songs like RUN...STARS ON THE WATER...LIVING WELL were such huge mega-hits that for awhile we all thought he was going to waltz off with the whole world. THIS IS A SIX STAR RECORD.
