Advantages: Lots of songs

Disadvantages: You have to wade through 50 songs to find the good ones.

The title does not lie, yes there are fifty songs on here and yes every single one of them made the number one spot in the American country charts. Beware however, quantity does not equal quality. You have to pick your way through here to find the few real 'killer' songs on here. The majority are just country 'muzak' which the Americans seem to lap up.

Standout tracks include The Chair which was the first George Strait song I think I ever heard and in my opinion is still the best thing he ever did. Check Yes Or No is another quality track that somehow seeps into your mind and you cant stop singing.

All My Ex's Live In Texas and Love without End, Amen complete the George Strait tracks that everyone should own. The majority of the rest of the tracks are radio friendly filler which would offend no one.

I have to comment on one further song and that is I Just Want To Dance With You. If you have ever heard the version by Daniel O'Donnell and cringed, worry not. This version by Strait is the way the song should be heard.

George Straits latest album 'Twang' just shot to number one in the US pop charts and is his 23rd Country chart topping album. Twang is probably his best album in the last 10 years or so, if you like country, check it out.

Summary: Great compilation of Straits hits
