Overview

People Magazine listed him as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People of 1995".

He broke EIvis Presley's record for the most consecutive sold-out performances at the Las Vegas Hilton.

He holds the record for the longest list of Number One hits of any male country star, with 22 hits and 17 top-selling albums.

He's George Strait and this is his life.

It's the story of a small-town Texas son, groomed to take over his father's ranch after he got out of the Army. But George, bitten by the music bug, taught himself to play the guitar, and was on his way.

After kicking around barrooms and local dancehalls with his own band, Ace in the Hole, he set out for the capital of country music, Nashville, Tennessee, and was signed by MCA Records. After his 1981 debut album, "Strait Country", the rest is music history, with hit album after hit album.

From his simple beginnings to his rise to international fame, from his popularizing of the classic "country swing" style of music to his highly acclaimed appearance in the feature release "Pure Country" with Lesley Ann Warren, "George Strait" gives Strait's millions of fans the full and in-depth story.
