Amazon.com essential recording
This 1991 recording is notable for the rare appearance of George Strait's excellent road band, Ace in the Hole, on three tracks. Strait and the band romp through "Home in San Antone" and update Hank Williams updating Emmett Miller on the yodeling "Lovesick Blues." Best of all is Strait's version of "Milk Cow Blues," a Delta blues tune that became a favorite of Texas swing musicians in the 1930s. Strait has never sung with more style and soul on record. The rest of the album balances catchy contemporary country (the hit "You Know Me Better Than That") with more traditional fare (Harlan Howard's instant classic "Her Only Bad Habit Is Me"). --Rick Mitchell

 Chill of an Early Fall - Best Strait Album Ever January 1, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
(I was not given proper credit for this review so I'll resubmit here.) =)This album is by far the best to date by George Strait. There is not a song on this album that isn't flat out terrific. Strait's "Ace in the Hole Band" is featured on a few tunes: a cover of Hank Williams "Lovesick Blues" and my all-time favorite Strait tune, the un-released "Milk Cow Blues." The musical talents of his band are evident on the latter, and listening to the steel guitar (not to mention a sort of duel between the lead guitar and the piano) will give you chills. Other great songs: "Home in San Antone," "Chill of an Early Fall," and "If I Know Me" (the latter two will definitely bring a tear to the eye of anyone with the least bit of sentimentality). A marvelous album. A beautiful blend of swing and traditional influences are a treat to the ear. For Strait fans, this compilation is merely confirmation of what we already know--this man is awesome. If you are not yet a Strait fan, this one will definitely convert you! Ten out of ten!

This CD gives a good balance of everything George is about.."Milk Cow Blues" is one of the standouts on this one that you won't hear on the radio. Another song that really stands up is "Is It Already Time"..If you want a real good cry or riding home after a long night out at the honky-tonk, plug this in the player!

 The Chill of an early fall one of his best songs ever! September 18, 2001

Another great album by George Strait. This 1991 release features once again the amazing capabilities that Strait continues to sing. It starts off great with The Chill of an early fall one of his best songs he ever sang in my opinion then the same continues with old Bob Wills type classic Home in San Antone many great songs like You know me better than that and many others. Although I did have a gripe with only two songs on this album that I really do not like they are Milk cow Blues and Lovesick Blues. Milk Cow Blues is to long and I understand that there is even a longer version of that song and this is the shortened version! Some of you fans might think Milk Cow Blues is one of his best but all of our tastes are different. Lovesick Blues is again just too country and I believe years ago it was going to be a single but when you hear it you'll understand why the radio stopped playing it George Stait kind of yodles on it hard and it's old Hank Williams stuff but it seem to only fit right for that time but not coming out of George. Overall Chill of an early fall is one of his best.
ONE OF STRAIT's BEST January 1, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have given reviews of quite a few George Strait CDs, and mentioned four of them being in my top FIVE. This is the other one. First off, I cannot believe that there can be ANY negative comments about it.This CD is George Strait at his best, it has everything you could want in country music: Humor, love, fiddles, sentiment, and great lyrics. It has my second favorite song "You Know Me Better Than That" (Only surpassed by "Living And Living Well"), it has "If I know Me", "Milk Cow Blues" (Talk about great western swing), "Lovesick Blues, and two gems you cannot get from "Strait Out Of The Box" "Home In San Antone", and "I've Convinced Everyone But Me". This is really one of Strait's best.
