George Strait | Icon | Vinyl

Part of Universal Music Enterprises’ budget-priced Icon compilation series, this set pulls career-spanning singles from the King of Country’s catalog, produced over the years primarily by Jimmy Bowen and Tony Brown. It moves from early-’80s neotraditional staples like “Amarillo By Morning” and “Ocean Front Property” through 1990s and 2000s chart-toppers such as “Check Yes Or No,” “I Cross My Heart,” and “Give It Away.” With more than sixty career number-one singles to draw from, Icon works as a concise, affordable entry point rather than an exhaustive retrospective. Strait’s steady, unadorned vocal delivery and the traditional Western swing- and honky-tonk-rooted arrangements are the throughline across every era represented here.
