The title track penned by Marv Green and Jim Collins, while Strait also covers “One Foot in Front of the Other" by Lee Roy Parnell/Cris Moore. A trio of cowboy tunes help round out the album. “I Ain’t Her Cowboy Anymore” is a cowboy’s lament of regret tinged with attitude, and “How ’Bout Them Cowgirls” sings the praises, while the whimsical “Texas Cookin’,” written by Guy Clark, is mined from the mid-70s Austin folk scene. So saddle up and settle in for 15 gems from the master. Twenty-five years and a slew of multiplatinum albums later, he just keeps getting better, with music that touches the cowboy, the dreamer, the honky-tonker, and the Texan in all of us.

CD review - The Cowboy Rides Away: Live From AT&T Stadium George Strait has been one of the most dependable country music stars for three decades.
