    Strait's 33rd CD is as solid as Nos. 32, 31, et al., even if not every song is Alamo-level memorable. [24 Jun 2005, p.162]

    There's nothing new or surprising here, but it's a completely satisfying listen thanks to the strong material, sustained mood, and Strait's unhurried, confident performance.

    Somewhere Down in Texas could have benefited from the addition of an irresistible rhythm tune or another example of the western swing that Strait embraced so fervently early in his career.

This is still an excellent cd that does not disappoint.… Full Review »

    This is George Strait's first average album ever, that I can recall. Perhaps it's time to do something different.
