Two of the most impressive names in all of country music have risen to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. King George Strait and Mr. Garth Brooks were called out by several of their peers, and they both made good on the dare.
George Strait may have hung up his touring hat, but his live show can live on forever in a soon-to-be released live album. On Sept. 16, Strait will unleash 'The Cowboy Rides Away: Live From AT&T Stadium,' a 20-track live album recorded at his very last concert.
George Strait is known for timeless country music, and his always-present black cowboy hat. At his final Cowboy Rides Away Tour stop, the singer tossed his hat into the audience, and one lucky man caught it -- and he plans on keeping it.
The set list for George Strait's final concert in Arlington, Texas was big. The show shattered records and the singer proved his presence in country music will not easily be forgotten, or ever replaced.
As 2014 nears the halfway point, it's time to reflect on the best of country music. The best songs, the best albums and the best moments of 2014 come from newcomers and superstars. They come from awards shows and reality television. The Best of Country Music 2014 comes from all over.
The top ten performed on NBC's 'The Voice'. Country music was well represented last night with songs from Reba McEntire and George Strait being performed. Both country songs were performed by contestants on 'Team Blake Shelton'. So what were the songs performed?
Ronnie Dunn and George Strait took the stage together in Tulsa, Okla. last weekend. The legends performed 'You Look So Good In Love' and 'Amarillo By Morning.'
Many of the artists opening for and playing alongside George Strait on the Cowboy Rides Away Tour idolize the country legend. That's not necessarily the case for Ronnie Dunn.
When George Strait won Entertainer of the Year at the 2014 ACM Awards, he made sure to thank his fans, calling them the best in the world. And when it comes to showing love back, the country crooners is always ready to put his money (or concert tickets) where his mouth is.
George Strait is retiring from doing concerts.
I am HEARTBROKEN!
But HOPEFULLY he'll continue to make music. At least we still have an incredible collection of songs we can listen to forever and here are few of my favorites!
