On his eighteenth album for MCA Records, George Strait remains the king of the back-to-basics approach to country music. He is credited with jostling country back to its roots, and creating a major market along the way.
EASY COME, EASY GO's title track--co-written by Dean Dillon, composer of some of George's biggest hits--is a clever bit of songwriting, and could well be a pop hit. With a slight Latin lilt and a Spanish farewell, the song's doomed lovers work on an easy way to end heartbreak. Progressive- traditionalist singer/songwriter Jim Lauderdale provides two upbeat, tasty cuts: the opening, bouncy shuffle "Stay Out Of My Arms," and "I Wasn't Fooling Around," a playful song where Strait gets to stretch his phrasing around elastic lyrics and a rubbery melody. It's hard to believe these songs were written by Lauderdale in the '90s; they sound like they came from an old-time honky tonk's jukebox.
Honky tonks are George's element, and his "That's Where My Baby Feels At Home," as well as the vigorous remake of George Jones' barroom classic "Lovebug," will get mugs sliding down bars at full speed. George gives it to you Strait: country music the way its supposed to be.
