submeat's top 100 tracks of 2003: songs to download and love
#29 "Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa," George Strait (MCA)
Slow, sad, and twangy, from the king of twang, if not slow and sad. Honkytonkville was one of Strait's best album's in nigh on a decade, the epitome of trad country; he couldn't make a pop album if you put a gun to his head. "Tulsa" is one of the preeminent reasons why its accompanying album is such a success. Now in his 50s, Strait's phrasing and voice just gain strength with each passing year, as he continues to doggedly carry the torch for what country's supposed to sound like. It's this.
