MCA has moved the street date of George Strait’s  38th album up to Aug. 11.    It’s hard to believe but his latest single “Living For The Night” marks the first time George has written one of his hits since his debut album back in 1982.

The new CD also features the first time Strait sings a song entirely in another lanuage.  He takes on the traditional “El Rey” (translates to “The King”) as the last track on the country disc.  It is sung entirely in Spanish.

Troubadour is the new George Strait CD (out Tuesday 4/1).  It’s also the name of one of my new favorite songs.  

Troubadour – the CD and the song – both live up to most all the heritage that those definitions convey.  There’s a real timeless, almost old fashioned, feel to most of the songs. I’ve never been a typical Strait fan.  I liked individual songs.   After tracking through what will become his 38th album
I’m hooked.  Come to think of it – I doubt Strait ever really loses a fan… just keeps gaining them.   Just as he keeps gaining accolades and awards too; the album’s stellar first single, “I Saw God Today,” already set a personal mark when it debuted at No. 19 on the country radio charts—higher than any other song he’s released in his career.

Look for "I Saw God Today" to be another #1… there will be more here too… and I can only hope the title track will be sanctioned for radio play.
