George Strait has recorded innumerable songs during his very long and illustrious career. But there is one that apparently stands out to him as his favorite to record above all the others. Per Whiskey Riff, Strait performed at Gruene Hall in Texas nine years ago to mark the release of his latest album at the time, Strait Out Of The Box: Part II. Per the outlet, “…[S]eeing someone of his caliber, a legend who can still sell out stadiums, play a small honky tonk like this is just beyond cool.”
Strait performed that night for almost two glorious hours, running through his hits and delighting the throng. He mentioned his partiality to one song, “Amarillo By Morning.” Strait said, “My most favorite song I’ve ever recorded, and it was big in the dance halls, people always requested it. This one’s called ‘Amarillo By Morning.’ I love singing it.”
‘Amarillo By Morning’ Was A Big Hit For George Strait
It Did Very Well
Per the outlet, “‘Amarillo by Morning’ was released in 1982, becoming a hit from his Strait from the Heart record after it peaked at #4 on the Billboard U.S. Hot Country Songs, and has obviously remained a timeless country standard ever since. Perhaps his most popular song of all time.”
Given the sheer number and quality of George Strait’s output, that is really saying something!
