I have been to 21 George Strait concerts from 1988 to 2001 and one in 2007 at the stadium he is playing at in the video. It was called Reliant Stadium now it is called NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
He's known as King George for a reason; 61 #1 hits will do that for you. And from all indications he is a really decent guy. He's still married to his high school sweetheart after all these years.
Same for my wife. Her cousin, Terry Stafford wrote this song. My family moved here when I was in junior high. I went to Randall and she went to Caprock. We moved back when I got out of the Coast Guard
I’m in California, USA . This song is one of my top 10 favorites in the soundtrack of my life! I’ve been blessed to see George Strait perform it live many times!
lee ann rimes singing "blue". the song was originally written for the legend, patsy cline. lee ann was THIRTEEN when she recorded it. she also does some incredible yodeliong. please listen to it, you'll be glad you did.
Me too. If someone were to ask me to suggest a song that most captures his essence this would be it. This also happens to be my favorite country song of all time.
To be more accurate, it's most likely a pedal steel guitar. It's basically the neck of a guitar set on a table with pedals and knee levers used to change the length of the strings.
I’m from San Antonio, George Strait country. LOVE King George. But, my favorite country song is ‘Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground” by Willie Nelson. It sounds like home, south Texas. Beautiful.
I'm still not sure why it's called a fiddle vs violin but they are the same thing and I believe that the guitar he's playing on his lap is called a lap steel guitar
The instrument you're asking about is called a steel guitar. And no, the player is not on his knees. Rather sitting in fron of the steel guitar that's on sort of like a table with legs. This instrument is a must in country music. Country music is not country music without a steel guitar, and also a dobro, a banjo, and of course, a fiddle! Another one of my George straitt favorites is "Dance with Me", "The Chair". Great songs!
I will have to check out dance with me and the chair. But I do have to ask one thing. What on earth is a dobro? I know what a banjo and a fiddle is but I don't think iv ever heard of a dobro. I must be living under a rock lol.
Great lyrics, wonderful instrumentals, great voice, thank you for listening to something different, something you're not familiar with, I'm glad you enjoyed it, as did I. Travel on...my favorite...I can listen to Ray Price sing "For the Good Times" all day long. Keep learning/listening... there's so much great stuff out there.
Best country songs (or ones I think are fun): “Boot Scootin Boogie” & “My Maria”- by Brooks and Dunn Drinkin Problem - by Midland Honkey Tonk Ba Donka Donk Good Time - by Alan Jackson I’m gunna miss her - Brad Paisley Hope you enjoy a few of those!
Like was said before… the lap/knee instrument is the steel guitar/lap steel. Classic country instrument that sounds “whiny”… The “fiddle” IS a violin. Same thing, be we like to call it a fiddle where I come from.. down South. What a song… King George. GREAT reaction!
He was a rodeo competitor first. This is reference of a competitor getting from one rodeo to anther. He has 60#1 hits, more than anyone or band in any category. Listen to Blue Clear Sky for a different angle.
King George is pure traditional country. Today, there are so many newer artists doing new style music & I love it all. Some have a hip-hop vibe, others sound almost like country rap. Some, like Chris Stapleton that sound bluesy. It doesn't need any other label that 'good music'. ~ George is not only the best country has to offer, he is also a real rodeo champion. This song is about a rodeo cowboy, going to Amarillo, Texas, for a rodeo, hoping the judge isn't blind & that he can make an 8 second ride. For a more mature George, check out 'Troubadour' which has clips from his career as both entertainer & cowboy. PRETTY COOL.
With 60 #1 hits over his 40 plus years of performing, you would be pushed to find a bad song by George. This is a rabbit hole that you will enjoy, and people will come to see how you like them. Oh, the difference between a violin and a fiddle is that a violin has strings, a fiddle has strangs.
Ok some other country artists just a few ok George Strait 60 #1 hit songs, 120 million records sold world wide, Brad Paisley, Morgan wallen, toby Keith, Tim mcgraw, Casey ballerina, Kane brown Carrie underwood + many more
My favorite country song is “Green Snakes on the Ceiling”, by Johnny Bush. One of the best Texas country singers ever. My opinion of course. Best of luck from Oklahoma. I see you’ve met king George.
You picked a good song to start off with. Amarillo by Morning never hit number one, but it’s his most popular song. Try some of his older stuff, like “All my Exes Live in Texas” and “Ocean Front Property”. Another great George Strait song that never hit number one is “Run”
You Britts and Aussies are so funny. You react to these artists songs and don't know what they're even singing about. For instance where is Amarillo and where is San Antone? Why is he leaving one and going to the other one ? He'll be looking for 8 when they pull that gate, and he hopes that judge ain't blind - What is that in reference to ? Why did they take his saddle in Houston and break his leg in Santa Fe? Y'all. " yep all y'all " are silly.
@@bigbeardyshow7908 great I found great results by cutting out all the obvious stuff along with no bread mainly meat green veg and eggs the turbo version is to eat once a day without any excercise loose about 4 lb a week / for ref dr fung , dr Ken berry , dr Sean baker all on you tube
I think that you are looking at a lap steel guitar played with a slide. George Strait was a real rodeo cowboy.
My absolute favourite country song… also by George Strait… “I Can Still Make Cheyenne.”
He just set a record over 100,000 attended his last concert.
This is George’s signature song.
The man sitting down is playing a steel guitar. A very distinctive sound in country music.
The thing across his knees playing is called a steel guitar
pedal steel guitar

This is actually Country Western..if it’s cowboying, ranching, the west…it gets the Western ❤️
I am from Amarillo , 🌟Texas🌟 Born there. 🌟Viv./ Jack's Wife ! & ABSOLUTELY LOVE MR. GEORGE STRAIGHT 💗💞💗✨🙏✨🌟
Same for my wife. Her cousin, Terry Stafford wrote this song. My family moved here when I was in junior high. I went to Randall and she went to Caprock. We moved back when I got out of the Coast Guard
Great first impression!! I absolutely love this man!! Every song he sings. ❤
I’m in California, USA . This song is one of my top 10 favorites in the soundtrack of my life! I’ve been blessed to see George Strait perform it live many times!
My favorite of his All My Exes Live in Texas
lee ann rimes singing "blue". the song was originally written for the legend, patsy cline. lee ann was THIRTEEN when she recorded it. she also does some incredible yodeliong.
please listen to it, you'll be glad you did.
I like George Strait's Love Without End. It's a good one.
I hung out in a bar in Newmarket, Suffolk that had lots of American Country and Western on their jukebox..King George got played a lot.
I love cowboy 🤠 George Strait music he are amazing singer ❤ ♥ 😍 💕
Patsy Kline- walking after midnight or Johnny Cash ring of fire
I would consider this George's signature song
Me too. If someone were to ask me to suggest a song that most captures his essence this would be it. This also happens to be my favorite country song of all time.
This isn't even his song. Cover singers fake as FUCK
Favorite country song George Strait with carrying your love with me
Listen to The Perfect Country and Western Song
The instrument played over his knees is called a Steel Guitar used a lot in country
To be more accurate, it's most likely a pedal steel guitar. It's basically the neck of a guitar set on a table with pedals and knee levers used to change the length of the strings.
It is also called a slide guitar
@@drunkeroc Slide guitar is actually a regular guitar with a higher than normal action.
I’m from San Antonio, George Strait country. LOVE King George. But, my favorite country song is ‘Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground” by Willie Nelson. It sounds like home, south Texas. Beautiful.
King who. He's not Jones get it right
I'm still not sure why it's called a fiddle vs violin but they are the same thing and I believe that the guitar he's playing on his lap is called a lap steel guitar
Steel Guitar is the instrument I believe you are refering to

The “fiddle” IS a violin. Same thing, be we like to call it a fiddle where I come from.. down South.

George Strait and Alan Jackson are Kings of Country music
Amarillo by Moning. I AM FROM San Antonio , it is a classic
He was a rodeo competitor first. This is reference of a competitor getting from one rodeo to anther. He has 60#1 hits, more than anyone or band in any category.

that instrument you couldn't identify is a pedal steel guitar.
That guy is playing a Steel Guitar. Do yourself a favor and listen to Bud's Bounce by Buck Owens and his Buckaroos.
