Recording information: Ocean Way Studios; Sound Stage Studios, Nashville, TN. Photographer: Mark Tucker . Unknown Contributor Role: Chuck Ainlay. Arranger: Bergen White. The problem with George Strait is this: His albums are so consistently good that a fine effort like Always Never the Same runs the risk of getting overlooked simply because it's not a masterwork like 1996's Blue Clear Sky (to pick but one). Of course, we should wish that all artists could have such a problem. With his smooth, emotive voice, George Strait continues to show the rest of the pack how country music can (and should) be done. Always Never the Same, like the rest of his albums, never panders to the latest trend that happens to be sweeping Nashville at the time. Strait has always remained true to his country roots, and here they are in evidence once again. Songs like "Meanwhile," "What Do You Say to That," "That's the Truth," and the title track are classic Strait songs, building on the 20 years of success he's had as a pure neo-traditionalist. Always Never the Same doesn't offer anything new from George Strait, just the same great voice put to work singing solid songs in a pure country style. ~ Martin Monkman Folks like to describe George Strait as "dependable"--buy his CD and you know you'll get a collection of high-quality country songs, all delivered in his inimitable style. But Strait has titled his 24th album ALWAYS NEVER THE SAME to underline the fact that his records aren't as predictable as they may seem. As the album proves, it's what Strait does within the confines of each release that makes the difference. As usual, he's turned to his favorite songwriters (Dean Dillon, Jeff Stevens, Jim Lauderdale, etc.) for material, but the songs capture a wide range of emotions, and his performance changes with each one. The title track is an upbeat tune that recalls the Mavericks, while songs like "What Do You Say To That" and "One of You" are simple statements of devotion--one serious, one humorous. Strait gets downright sexy on "That's Where I Wanna Take Our Love" and positively heartbroken on "4 Minus 3 Equals Zero," a standout song about a man who can't grasp the fact that his family is being torn in two. On "That's the Truth," Strait's vocals are so choked with emotion that he sounds like he can barely get the words out. With ALWAYS NEVER THE SAME, Strait has done it again, but it's the way in which he does it that continues to surprise.Entertainment Weekly (3/5/99, p.67) - "It's to his credit as a stylist that Strait can imbue even the most lightweight modern country material with the kind of grace that makes it soar at radio. But on his 24th album, Strait never forgets to prove his mettle with the honky-tonk masters..." - Rating: B+ Q (6/99, p.112) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...Strait...is a fine melanchilist and droll swinger who still sounds fresh on his 24th album. ALWAYS NEVER THE SAME is reddles with coutnry wit...throbbing pain and hurt...and, from time to time, the zestful western bounce of his earlier work..."

Always Never The Same
$12.29 Anne and Frank Warner's lifetime of collecting folk songs has been called by Alan Lomax "a continuous act of unpaid, tender devotion and a lifelong love affair with the people who remembered the ballads." It is through this "love affair" that the Warners were able to collect some of the most beautiful and important traditional American music ever recorded. Over the course of forty years, through lectures and performances, in books, and on seven highly influential albums of his own, Frank Warner taught America the songs that he learned from the great, mostly unknown, rural singers he and his wife had recorded in field trips up and down the Eastern Seaboard. In 1984, Anne Warner documented the collection in the critically acclaimed book "Traditional American Folksongs," which belongs on every bookshelf. Songs from the Warner Collection, including "He's Got The Whole World in His Hand," "Days of Forty Nine," "Gilgarrah Mountain (Whiskey in the Jar)" and "Tom Dooley," are now widely known and sung throughout the world. These songs have been performed and recorded by Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia & David Grisman, Metallica, Lonnie Donegan, The Clancy Brothers, Mahalia Jackson, The Pogues, Judy Collins and many others. In 1958, The Kingston Trio learned "Tom Dooley" from the Warners via the Alan Lomax book, "Folk Song USA." Their recording of the song became a Number One hit which sold over three million copies and ignited the spark of what would become known as the "folk revival."The original recordings in the Warner Collection had only been heard by the Warner family and ...
