Critic Reviews
Show All-
Wasington Post
A collection as solid as anything the reliable south Texan has ever released.
-
American Songwriter
This is another stone-cold classic from King George
-
Slant
One of the more interesting permutations of the prototypical George Strait record.
-
No Depression
Once again Strait proves that he’s the most consistent talent going and the current King of Country Music.
-
Billboard
After 28 years, you'd think it would be tough coming up with new twists to captivate audiences. But apparently not for King George
-
My Kind of Country
King George continues to be the dominating presence at top of the charts as he has been for nearly three decades now.
-
All Music
It's these little twists -- the stylistic stretches and original tunes -- that give Twang some serious character and make it more than just another sturdy Strait record.
-
Pop Matters
That lean approach leads to elegance, to delivering many feelings and stories with a small number of words.
-
Seattle Times
Strait has nothing to prove. How cool that “Twang” sounds as if he does.
-
American Noise
A typical George Strait album, ripe with a few excellent cuts and a whole lot of forgettable though exquisitely produced filler.
-
Country Music Online
Twang is as solid as George Strait's career.
-
NPR
Perfected a clean, crisp sound that bypasses decades of trends.
-
Humphead Country
TWANG doesn’t rest on any laurels
-
EW
He continues to define (and refine) his genre
-
LA Times
Self-reflective celebration of the classic sounds that spill out of a honky-tonk jukebox every Saturday night.
-
Pantagraph
He manages to inject the unbridled potency necessary to convincingly sing a ranchera - in Spanish, to boot.
-
Country Schatter
The man has never recorded anything that I don’t like. I’m not surprised he has 57 No. 1 records.
-

If you liked the last one, you’ll like this one.
-
Music Box
Strait uses Twang to push down the walls that have confined him for years.
-
That Nashville Sound
He has always been the King of Consistency.
-
Twang Nation
Strait is not about to shy away from some hillbilly hell raising.
-
Star Tribune
The Strait originals stack up well in a collection of exceptionally strong material.
-
News OK
And all the chances and risks are done with Strait’s timeless grace and impeccable taste.
-
Country Music Alive
This one, however, just may be a bit more special than the rest to Strait and his fans.
