BLUE CLEAR SKY won the 1996 Country Music Association Award for Album Of The Year, and George Strait won the C.M.A. award for Male Vocalist Of The Year. George Strait, one of the most widely admired and emulated singers in modern country, opens up emotionally on BLUE CLEAR SKY. It's a rangy album that touches on several different tempos and styles, from the classically weepy "I Can Still Make Cheyenne" to the playfully swingy "I Ain't Never Seen No One Like You." With his stately voice buttressed by a versatile band of backing musicians, Strait shows he can still whip out classic country sounds like the frisky "Do The Right Thing" and the introspective "King Of The Mountain." But he closes with the refreshing "Need I Say More," a piano-based lounge number that seems to have been inspired by his duet with Frank Sinatra on 1995's STRAIT OUT OF THE BOX. As Strait croons "let me show you what true love's all about," one can picture him clad in a tuxedo underneath his trademark 10-gallon chapeau. It's a fitting image for one of Nashville's classier acts. Editorial reviews ...For a guy who's never relied much on emotion, Strait finally sounds like he's living his lyrics. - Rating: A Entertainment Weekly (04/26/1996) 3 Stars - Good - ...Tuneful like Garth Brooks but a little more down-home,...and equally capable of being melancholic like Dwight Yokum,...Strait is your country all rounder....when it comes to manly melancholia, country fans still have no need of Morrissey.
