Best Strait Album June 11, 2008
I've had the cassette version of this album for 10 years and I finally gave in and bought the CD. In my mind the best album ever made, I can listen to it over and over without getting sick of it unlike most albums. Some say that there are a lot of filler songs on this album, but it is actually the only album I've listened to that doesn't have any - they're all good! This album was so great that When George Strait released a concert DVD in 2002 - 18 years and albums later, out of the 18 songs that he sang, 3 were from this album! I read that for years he opened his concerts with 'The Fireman' and ended them with 'The Cowboy Rides Away' (Which along with Amarillo By Morning' make up my top 3 all-time favorite songs) While all George Strait Albums deserve a 5 star rating, this one deserves six.

IRT

Gasping for breath and trying to regain control of his emotions :-)

A mid-eighties classic June 6, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The title track is one of George's most famous songs but, perhaps surprisingly, is the only number one country hit from this chart (based on Billboard). The two other singles (The cowboy rides away, The fireman) both made the top five in the country charts.

Overall, this album is typical of George's early albums with its mix of ballads and western swing-influenced up-tempo songs. Instrumentation consists of steel, electric and acoustic guitars together with fiddle, mandolin, keyboards, bass and drums. Apart from the three tracks released as singles, I particularly like Any old time, You're dancing this dance all wrong and Honky tonk Saturday night.

If you enjoy George's music enough to want more than just the hits, you will derive a lot of enjoyment from this album.

A GREAT CD January 1, 2005

This is top notch George, and there is not a bad song on it. "Honky Tonk Saturday Night" is a real highlight here because you can't get it on "Strait Out Of The Box". With country classics like "The Fireman", and the title track, on it, it should be viewed as one of his best CDs. Something else great about it, is that you cannot get most of the other songs, anywhere else. So if you are a GS fan, you should have it in your collection.

A PIVOTAL ALBUM IN STRAIT'S STELLAR CAREER February 11, 2004
While it's difficult to say where and when George Strait's career really took off, many view DOES FORT WORTH EVER CROSS YOUR MIND as the pivotal album that catapulted Strait straight to the top of the Country Music world. This album garnered numerous awards, acclaim and is a solid continuing favorite among Country Music fans everywhere.

Studded with hits like the title track DOES FORT WORTH EVER CROSS YOUR MIND, YOU'RE DANCIN' THIS DANCE ALL WRONG, COWBOY RIDES AWAY and FIREMAN, this album also offers other tracks that have become hits. But then that's an old story for George Strait--every track seems as fresh and as bright as the title song and there's never any filler to muddy things up.
