George Strait, 'Love Is Everything' – Album Review

Billy Dukes — Thu, 16 May 2013 18:00:37 +0000

George Strait steps back in time for his newest release, 'Love Is Everything.' In the past, the singer always found a way to add a touch of contemporary to his traditional sound.

Cute Kids Singing Country Songs – George Strait, 'Amarillo by Morning'

Billy Dukes — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:00:13 +0000

This dapper young fella is all dressed up to sing a classic from the King. We love the seafoam button-down and necktie.

Billy Dukes — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:30:42 +0000
