When the announcement came that George Strait was to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, there were those who thought it was premature. After all, Strait is only in his early 50s, and with 53 #1s, more than anyone else in Nashville history, he is still an active working artist, not the sort who sits back on a million-acre ranch remembering when. But one spin through It Just Comes Natural and it's obvious why the quiet Texan deserved his induction now. He simply has no mainstream peer, for either his consistency on the charts or his continuing to raise the bar with his confident, nuanced performance. Here, on an album recorded in Key West, Strait sounds even more relaxed than usual, as if he took more time to live with the songs--15 in all--before he recorded them. Throughout, he amply demonstrates his ability to choose material that pushes the country genre beyond its core themes of God, family, and patriotism while still staying traditional. So many of the songs catch one off guard, either because of their different subject matter (the way the lyric of "Come on Joe" gradually tells us the dead never really leave the living) or in their sophisticated approach to a routine topic (the head-spinning recognition of an old flame in Bruce Robison's "Wrapped"). Then there's the artistry with which producer Tony Brown's handpicked studio cats elevate an already great song even higher (a sizzling cover of Guy Clark's folk/honky-tonk/Western swing classic "Texas Cookin'"). Twenty-five years after his recording debut, Strait is still as crisp as the crease in his Wranglers. Yet the leader of the Ace in the Hole band has yet another card up his freshly starched sleeve. The man who doesn't talk in concert and rarely speaks to reporters leads off with "Give It Away," a divorce-and-damage saga set off by--surprise--a recitation! --Alanna Nash

THE TITLE PRETTY MUCH SAYS IT ALL January 13, 2007

Just when you think that George Strait will soon be taking up the rocking chair and disappearing "somewhere down in Texas" he lays another release out there that comes closes to...well...perfection. IT JUST COMES NATURAL is simply marvelous and the title pretty much says it all about arguably the greatest country singer of all time. Nothing goes wrong with this one but, then, that's an old story with Mr. Strait. Tell me the last time one of his albums went south? In fact, because of his excellence, he seems sometimes to be overlooked. Just another perfect day for George.
To overlook this album for any reason would be a mistake. One of the unique things about this offering is it has fifteen tracks. I went back and looked at my collection and discovered that, with few exceptions, George usually sticks to a simple ten. Maybe it used to be superstition for him. Maybe he thought that ten was a lucky number. Whatever the case, I'm glad he went with fifteen because, for the life of me, I can't say which of the tracks I'd leave out if ten were mandatory. Great stuff here.
The title track and "Give It Away" are wonderful but, as is often the case with Strait's albums, some of the other tracks become my favorites. In the case of this album "I Ain't Her Cowboy Anymore" has quickly become one of my all time favorite George Strait Songs. But then, as I have already noted, every track here is simply splendid. Give a listen. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I have played the entire cd and I can not get over how AMAZING George Strait sounds.
His voice sounds better and stronger than ever.
I love the new song (title song) and the entire cd. It is the best record he has put out in a long time. It's fantastic.
I love it!

I own just about every GS CD. Every time he puts a new CD out it's a reminder to me why I love country music. His music never fails to put me in a good state of mind. His voice is still as good as ever with a great selection of songs. This CD sounds very fresh compared to his last couple CD's. It won't disappoint - buy it!

I've been a longtime GS fan and have more than half of his albums. After being mildly dissappointed with George's last CD, I wasn't sure about this one but bought it anyway. Boy am I glad I did! What a fantastic group of country songs and George sounds better than ever. The first single "Give It Away" has a unique guitar intro that hooked me right away. A few other favorites are: "It Just Comes Natural", "How 'Bout Them Cowgirls" (this song just makes me smile - I hope it gets released as a single); "Wrapped" (classic GS sound); "Texas Cookin" - just can't stop tapping my feet to this one) and "I Ain't Her Cowboy Anymore". There's no filler here - all the songs are good and worth listening to again and again. The musicians assembled for this recording are awesome. Thank you George for such a wonderful CD that I'll be listening to for a long time to come.
